Look for clothes in cotton or linen, as these natural fabrics are the most breathable, so they're perfect for Hawaii's heat and humidity. Pack versatile clothing that you can mix and match, and dress up and down. Leave your denim at home! Denim feels so hot and bulky in the tropics.

An hour before landing, you can use a wipe to clean your skin, reapply skincare & put on makeup. I suggest to not wear any makeup during the flight. The air will dry out your skin & it's really uncomfortable if you end up taking a nap. I keep sample sized skincare & makeup for this purpose!

Wear loose-fitting clothing that cover your arms and legs, but can be rolled up. Clothing that includes natural fibers like cotton, feel most comfortable. I normally wear long trousers that can be rolled up and snapped into capri length. Andy sometimes wears hiking trousers with zip-off legs.
