Do you have any tips for my flight to Wellington?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Wellington holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items 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 aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Wellington a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No 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 can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
