Question 10

How to survive the flight to Auckland?

Accepted Answer

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Auckland in no time at all.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Auckland in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
Slip-on shoes are a good 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 need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
