Do you have any tips for my flight to Wellington?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Wellington escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Wellington, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones 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.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
