Do you have any tips for my flight to Tauranga?

  • Get your trip off to an excellent start by being prepared. Pack your travel documents, passport and medications first. Next, think about downloading a few movies on your tablet or phone for a sans-guilt binge session. Or, bring that book you’ve been wanting to read. Lastly, a few healthy snacks and a quality neck pillow will go a long way to making your journey as comfy as possible.
  • You’ll also want to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Pocket knives, razor blades, swords and batons are among the prohibited items. Anything explosive, sharp or flammable is generally not allowed in your carry-on bag. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or tennis rackets only in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort instead of fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural materials since they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures can get cold on long-haul flights, so pack a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for lengthy periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. Alternatively, do foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks.
