Do you have any tips for my flight to Wellington?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Wellington in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wellington a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:
  • Keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
