How to survive the flight to Rotorua?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Rotorua in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rotorua?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Rotorua, here you come:

  • Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
