How to survive the flight to Christchurch?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Christchurch.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Christchurch?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Christchurch, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
