Do you have any tips for my flight to Nelson?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nelson could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nelson?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nelson in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:
  • Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. 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 for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
