How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Taupo
Make your trip to Taupo a little bit easier by reading over these practical security tips:

  • Make sure you know the whereabouts of your travel ID and boarding pass. You don't want to hold up the line when you're asked to present them.
  • Wallets, USB sticks and wrist watches must be placed in a tub for X-raying. If you walk into the body scanner with any one of these items, you'll be instructed to turn back and remove them.
  • Ensure your phone, laptop and other electronic devices are easy to reach. These items need to be put through the X-ray machine in separate trays.
  • When it comes to traveling with gels or liquids, all passengers are allowed a quart-sized clear resealable bag to store containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
  • Airport security staff may instruct you to take off your shoes prior to entering the body scanner. Wear a pair that you can take off easily. There's nothing more tiresome than having to do up your laces over and over again.
  • Razors and knives are not allowed on board the aircraft. Stash them away in your checked luggage to avoid losing them at the airport security checkpoint.
