How to survive the flight to Nelson?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Nelson holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nelson?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Nelson in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
