Do you have any tips for my flight to Gisborne?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Gisborne in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gisborne?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gisborne in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
