Do you have any tips for my flight to Waikoloa?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Waikoloa could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waikoloa?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Waikoloa before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:
  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
