Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the site of one of the world's most active volcanoes. An awe-inspiring geologic park native, which islanders hold sacred to the Goddess Pele, the area is an educational wonder schooling visitors in the mechanics of volcanic activity, Hawaiian prehistory, and even astronomy. The town of Volcano lies just on the outskirts of the park making an excellent base for exploration of the entire area.

Flights to Volcano land at Hilo International Airport from either the mainland or other islands in the chain. While there is a second destination for flights to the Big Island, Kona International Airport, Volcano flights to Hilo are slightly more convenient, as Hilo is closer to the park. It is sometimes possible to find cheap flights to Volcano from West Coast-based cities during the year usually in the off-season.

Kilauea Visitor Center is the first stop for crater exploration. There are informative exhibits in the on-site museum and visitors can receive the latest news about lava flows and weather conditions to ensure their trip to the volcano is a safe one. Park rangers also offer excellent tours leaving from the center, which enhance any visit to the area.

How to survive the flight to Volcano?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Volcano could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Volcano?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Volcano, here you come:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
