How to survive the flight to Rakaia?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Rakaia could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rakaia?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Rakaia, here you come:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
