Cheap Flights to Kapalua

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Kapalua holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kapalua in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
