Do you have any tips for my flight to Whangarei Heads?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Whangarei Heads could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whangarei Heads?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Whangarei Heads in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • 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 soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
