  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember 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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whakatane?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Whakatane a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
