What you choose to wear on long-haul flights can make a big difference to your comfort. That task can be a little bit trickier when your long haul-flight involves changing climates to and from Hawaii.
One of the biggest challenges that you’ll need to address is being warm enough on a cool plane, but cool enough when you step off the plane into a tropical paradise. Most of our flights have been at a relatively comfortable temperature, but we’ve also had some flights where we felt like we were human icicles half-way through the flight. It’s best to be prepared for temperature extremes for long-haul flights. Being too cold or too hot makes you incredibly uncomfortable and unable to relax.
Here’s what we recommend you bring and/or wear for your Hawaii flights to keep you comfortable:
As we near landing in Hawaii, we take off socks and sweaters or jackets. We roll up trousers into the capri length or zip off legs. If we’re wearing long sleeves, we roll them up. Then we’re ready for Hawaii’s tropical climate. Of course, we wear either the same clothing (preferable after being washed) or something similar for the return back to the mainland.
