Question 9

How to survive the flight to Takaka?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Takaka holiday started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Takaka?

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Takaka in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
Remember to remove gels and liquids 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 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
