How to survive the flight to Nelson?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Nelson could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nelson?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Nelson easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
