Question 10

How to survive the flight to Waimangu?

Accepted Answer

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Waimangu.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Waimangu before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
