How to survive the flight to Christchurch?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Christchurch in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Christchurch?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Christchurch, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
