Do you have any tips for my flight to Waihau Bay?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips that will get your Waihau Bay vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, 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 to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel 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 your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waihau Bay?
The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Waihau Bay before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
