How to survive the flight to Taupo?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Taupo could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Taupo?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Taupo in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
