Do you have any tips for my flight to Papaikou?

  • Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a great experience if you’re well prepared. First, pack your passport, travel documents and medications. Next, toss in some in-flight entertainment to help the time fly by. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are fantastic options. If you’re hoping to get some sleep, a memory-foam neck pillow and headphones will also come in handy.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on too. Sharps, flammables and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include knives of any sort, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, such as baseball bats and martial arts weapons like nunchucks, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have a full list of what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural materials as they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul journeys, so pack a pullover and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for lengthy periods, by regularly walking around the cabin. Otherwise, do foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Papaikou?
Securing a cheap, last-minute flight to Papaikou is as easy as being flexible with your travel plans. Have some leeway with your flight times, travel dates and choice of airline. If your destination has a few airports, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal.
