Do you have any tips for my flight to Kailua-Kona?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Kailua-Kona in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kailua-Kona?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kailua-Kona in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take 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 clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
