If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Whakatane. What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

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

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Whakatane quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

Have your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
