Do you have any tips for my flight to Kaiapoi?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Kaiapoi holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kaiapoi?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Kaiapoi, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
