Heading to Hawaii this Christmas and thinking
of taking a Sony 2010 --
Any hassles or obvious tips I could use?

Thanks!

Other than don't turn it on during the flight.. should be no problems.
Best
to pack it in your checked luggage.

Some airlines DO (or, at least, did) allow the use of radio receivers
during flight. Virgin is one of them. It may be worth asking. It's
interesting to note that, when you travel from the UK to Florida, the
first language you are likely to hear on the FM B/C, when nearing the
USA, is French.
I don't know any airline that allows AM/FM radio use at any time. The LO
on many FM radios causes radiation in the Navigation band.

Use of radios and televisions in any band is illegal according to US law.
Can't speak for any other country. At this time, this includes ANY radio
device, including GPS, WiFi (they're looking into wireless service onboard,
but the pilots are bucking it), and even some video games and DVD players
during takeoff and landing.
