Do you have any tips for my flight to Fox Glacier?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Fox Glacier escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Fox Glacier?
It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Fox Glacier, here you come:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, 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 liter), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
