How to survive the flight to Wellington?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Wellington in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Wellington in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you on board.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
