Do you have any tips for my flight to Tekapo?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tekapo could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tekapo?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Tekapo quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
