How to survive the flight to Christchurch?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and exploring Christchurch in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
  • Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Christchurch?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Christchurch quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
