Question 14

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Wellington in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
