When flying from east to Hawaii, try staying up until bedtime in Hawaii and leave the curtains open. The next morning the sun will wake you up with its rays and you will be refreshed and ready to enjoy your vacation.

When arriving at the airport have your current photo ID and your airline ticket in a place that you have quick access to. Make sure all your luggage is tagged correctly and follow the precautions about what and what not to carry in your carry-on bags. Being pre-prepared for check-in will make your trip more stress free.

When traveling with children try to bring plenty of snacks and bottled juices and water. Unexpected delays in airports and traffic jams may cause frustration with the children and carrying snacks and drinks may calm the children down.
