Cheap Flights to Pukekura

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pukekura could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Pukekura quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
