How to survive the flight to New Plymouth?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will get your New Plymouth escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to New Plymouth?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out New Plymouth, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
