Cheap Flights to Milford Sound

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Milford Sound in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Milford Sound easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. 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.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
