How to survive the flight to Timaru?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Timaru.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Timaru?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Timaru easy and painless. Below you’ll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
