How to survive the flight to Queenstown?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Queenstown could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Queenstown?
The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Queenstown in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, 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 baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
