How to survive the flight to Kailua-Kona?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Kailua-Kona.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kailua-Kona?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Kailua-Kona easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take 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.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
