We've rounded up 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 enjoying Kaitaia in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
