Do you have any tips for my flight to Waimate?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Waimate could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waimate?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Waimate, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
