How to survive the flight to Ashburton?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Ashburton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ashburton?
The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Ashburton in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
