Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whakatane?

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Whakatane quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

Have your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
