  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rotorua?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Rotorua, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
