How to survive the flight to Palmerston North?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Palmerston North escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palmerston North?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Palmerston North, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
