How to survive the flight to Wellington?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Wellington holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Wellington in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
