Do you have any tips for my flight to Rakaia?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Rakaia holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rakaia?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rakaia in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
