Do you have any tips for my flight to Wellington?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Wellington could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wellington in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
