Do you have any tips for my flight to Waitomo Caves?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Waitomo Caves. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waitomo Caves?
It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Waitomo Caves, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
