Do you have any tips for my flight to Wairakei?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Wairakei in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wairakei?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wairakei in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) 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 bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
