How to survive the flight to Wellington?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in Wellington.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Wellington easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
