Do you have any tips for my flight to Nelson?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Nelson in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nelson?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Nelson, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
