Question 8

How to survive the flight to Mount Cook?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Mount Cook.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 9

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mount Cook?

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mount Cook in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
