Do you have any tips for my flight to Hilo?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hilo could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hilo?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Hilo, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must 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 passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
