Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Te Puia could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
