How to survive the flight to Waiheke Island?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Waiheke Island holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waiheke Island?
The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Waiheke Island in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
