Do you have any tips for my flight to Whanganui?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Whanganui in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whanganui?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Whanganui a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
