Do you have any tips for my flight to Waiau?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Waiau escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waiau?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Waiau, here you come:

  • Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
