Question 9

How to survive the flight to Akaroa?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Akaroa before you know it.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Akaroa?

Accepted Answer

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Akaroa in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
