Do you have any tips for my flight to Whanganui?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Whanganui. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. 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 flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whanganui?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Whanganui in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
