Do you have any tips for my flight to Queenstown?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Queenstown. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Queenstown?
Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Queenstown quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
