If you’re not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Te Anga.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Te Anga a breeze. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s 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 electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
