The sooner you book, the sooner you can start counting down the days until your adventure!It's not every day you take off on vacation, so why not splurge on a bit of luxury? The Quest Rotorua Central and the Millennium Hotel Rotorua are a few of the best upmarket properties in the area.

How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Rotorua
Your journey to Rotorua starts as soon as you've satisfied all the security checks. We've summarized a few helpful tips and hints to ensure you get through quickly:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass in an easily accessible place. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security staff.
  • It's useful to know that metal belt buckles can set off the body scanner's alarms. If you have one on, you may be told to take it off before continuing.
  • Laptops need to be taken out of their carry bags and placed in a tray before being X-rayed.
  • When you approach the security checkpoint, you'll be asked to put all gels, liquids and creams in a separate bin for inspection. Make sure they're all stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Airport security staff may instruct you to take off your shoes for the body scanner. Pick a pair that slip off easily. There's nothing more tiresome than having to do your laces up over and over again.
  • Scissors and multi-tools are prohibited inside the aircraft. Stash them away in your checked luggage to avoid forfeiting them at the airport security checkpoint.
