Do you have any tips for my flight to Nelson?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Nelson escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander 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 Nelson?
The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Nelson in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
