Do you have any tips for my flight to Wellington?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Wellington could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wellington?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Wellington quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:
  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
