Do you have any tips for my flight to Taihape?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Taihape escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander 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 Taihape?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Taihape a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
