Do you have any tips for my flight to Great Barrier Island?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Great Barrier Island in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Great Barrier Island?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Great Barrier Island before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
