How to survive the flight to Manapouri?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Manapouri before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

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

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne? Not a 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.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • 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 luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
