How to survive the flight to Whanganui?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Whanganui in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whanganui?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Whanganui in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
