Flights from O'ahu to the United States: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from O'ahu to the United States 
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-KOAApr 2025
Enjoy the short flight. Especially after a 11 hour flight from New York
ChanomiFlew with Alaska AirlinesHNL-SEAMar 2025
You know, we looked into staying longer and had (of course) bought the cheapest economy option with Alaska Airlines, so changing the flight seemed to be fully not an option when I looked into it on the Alaska Airlines app. Would have loved to have *some* option to maintain some of my ticket value, pay a fee, etc.
JánosFlew with Alaska AirlinesHNL-LIHApr 2025
Self check in is not indicated well if you approach Terminal 1 from Terminal 2 Parking. Go to the other side of the checkin counters.
Íris ThelmaFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-LASDec 2024
Just fly with Hawaiian airlines to the LAS airport, it is easy and straight forward!
GaryFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-OAKDec 2024
Southwest has the best luggage policy although the Hawaiian Airlines fares are more reasonable.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-BOSFeb 2025
Encourage Hawaiian Airlines/Alaska Airlines to not cancel the direct HNL-BOS route
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-SMFJan 2025
Flying to SMF is convenient. Your food is better than United.
JaniceFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-LAXJan 2025
Southwest or Hawaiian will be your best options for carriers
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-SEAFeb 2025
That you should be able to choose your own seats to be comfortable. Otherwise it’s no difference in choosing a flight exceeding 5 1/2 Hours.
Michael DeonFlew with Alaska AirlinesHNL-PDXDec 2024
Be ready because they are going to do their job as quickly as possible!
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesHNL-SANDec 2024
Get there a couple hours early. TSA is not the best organized. The security line took us about 50 minutes to an hour.
GeraldFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-SFOFeb 2025
There is an agricultural inspection of carryon bags at the gate. Don’t try and bring home any pineapples.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-SEASep 2024
Hawaiian Airlines is the best experience, but not always competitive on price. Alaska and Delta do pretty well, but their seats are often pretty thin and uncomfortable on long flights.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-PDXSep 2024
Honolulu airport is a bit confusing, get right into the customer service line before trying the self-check kiosks.
teresaFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-LAXOct 2024
It’s a long flight -but Hawaiian is a good airline e to fly !
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-KOASep 2024
There is basically only Hawaiian to chose from. I might use United next time to see who is better.

Bring a snack with you in the event you are not happy with dinner.
JannFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-SLCOct 2024
If you need leg room. Fly on another carrier. Hawaiian Air makes you pay another $300 for two passengers one way to upgrade if you do it both ways that’s another $600 and you could fly on a better airline for that
ChuckFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-OGGOct 2024
Take another airline that trains their flight attendants not to be cold and hostile.
JenniferFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-SEASep 2024
Don’t try and bring a surfboard on Hawaiian airlines.
AndrewFlew with Alaska AirlinesHNL-SFOJun 2024
Fly Hawaiian Airlines instead to/from Hawaii if you can. (Cross fingers that Hawaiian Airlines does not end up merging with Alaska Airlines as has been announced.)
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-LIHJul 2024
Check in early, give yourself a bit of time, and enjoy the flight. Lihue has a super small airport, so not much going on there.
KevinFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-JFKAug 2024
Great flight with excellent flight attendants. The flight attendants were helpful even when flying on non upgraded tickets.

Two-aisle configuration; Reasonable number of rest rooms; Bring your own food.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesHNL-ITOAug 2024
Do self check in. Much simpler print boarding passes at outside kiosk. I don't have that precheck but obviously they are trying to make everyone go that route bx we had to walk to the other end of the terminal for security once we checked in, instead of the much closer security check that was exclusive to precheck folks. That is frustrating.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesHNL-ANCAug 2024
HNL provides no help to get me from curbside to the check-in counter. Thank goodness we were not chased away by airport personnel while the person who drove us to HNL helped us get our bags through agricultural inspection until the Alaska Aiirlines counter inside Wish there had been curbside check-in
RogerFlew with United AirlinesHNL-DENJun 2024
According to HNL gate agent arriving UA 1805 from Denver Is “infamously” late, so don’t take the redeye UA 1806 turn around flight unless your prepared to camp out in the airport and possibly miss connections on the US mainland

Always expect for the delay if flying with Hawaiian Airline.

If you can afford another airline, I'd avoid United.

Bring your own charging bank for your phone. Bring your own food/drink if you think you may get hungry/thirsty during the flight.

Don't use a small water bottle. Get a big one and fill it prior to boarding so you can keep hydrated better.

Get to the airport at lease 2.5 hours BEFORE your plan starts to board. TSA takes awhile!!

No non-alcoholic drinks available except water and small apple juice cans.

Flight attendant took my carefully folded coat and flung it across the aisle to the bin across the way. Where one of the passengers rescued it for me, because that just wasn’t right!!

If all the airlines were ran so well. Staff very professional and kind.

Flight was smooth, but the overhead bins were not deep enough to stow bags vertically and we ran out of room - even with 8 passengers voluntarily gate-checking their bags.

Very helpful with my mother who needed a wheelchair at both ends and everything went as expected

Direct and non stop. We were late checking in but had paid for our luggage to be checked and they easily took the bags at the gate for us. We unfortunately had to take our bags through TSA and lost a few items...

The FTA in the JFK airport was so mismanaged. It needs improvement. Flight attendants should set age limits. In-flights snacks should provide two times instead one.

Self check in is not indicated well if you approach Terminal 1 from Terminal 2 Parking

1.5 hour delay boarding plus 1+ hour sitting in plane waiting for ground crew to load luggage and freight, made for 3:00AM arrival in Seattle.

The plane was freezing and no blanquets available unless you buy them. My screen was bad so I couldn’t watch any entertainment.

This had nothing to do with Delta… The flights were on time and flawless. The service was excellent. We purchased seats in (aisle/middle) comfort plus since this was a cross country flight. Unfortunately, the woman seated at the window was 300+ pounds and, as might be expected, covered up about a third of the middle seat also. there was absolutely nothing that Delta could have done about that… I just don’t know what the answer should be. If you purchase a seat, you should should be able to use the entire seat and not just the portion that someone else is not sitting/oozing in. Disappointing…there should be something that could be done….I'm just not sure what solution could be.

Delayed take-off. Very small plane so very scary with lots of bumps during the flight. Would never fly Delta on short flights in small 80 seaters plane again! Felt relieved when landed.

The worst part was I was NOT allowed in the lounge even though I was holding a first class ticket and have a premium American Express card. I have flown Business or First Class with many airlines. Delta is the ONLY one who does not extend this courtesy to anyone except people who hold the very expensive American Express card. As a result, I won’t fly Delta if I have any other choice.

A little bumpy ride . No food was being provided due the the turbulence. That was ok it was a short flight to my standards.

Simply outstanding. Their new lounge for Delta One customers is a cut above the rest.

The Dekta Rep that checked us in was great. She's very personable, pleasant, and can tell she enjoys her job.

The plane was old with small storage areas that had problems closing/latching and not enough storage for everyone, and worn, damaged seats. Service was great but feel a little unsafe on such well used planes.

Terrible and im avoiding them in the future. My initial flight was delayed causing me to rebook my flight and when speaking with the representative to rebook I explained this is the second time my flights were delayed and they did nothing to help me. I wasn't booked to comfort plus or given a voucher or anything. I was almost late for my meeting that I needed to attend on Monday because of the games delta played delaying my flights even more and putting me in the very back of the plane next to an extremely intoxicated passenger

Flights on time. .Ride was as comfortable as can be expected in steerage. Luggage arrived at destination. Attendants were fairly friendly.

Great staff. Wifi is terrible. Signing up for skylines is a painstaking process. Had to call customer service just to get my flight itinerary and confirmation sent to me. Consistent delays. A well staffed company that is run so poorly. Upper management needs to be renewed.

Great staffing. Terrible food. Please do cold sandwiches or salads. the "hot pickets" are terrible.

Love Hawaiian you can’t go wrong, still provides you good drinks and little snack at the end

No tv’s. Had to walk 45 minutes to connect to next flight. Couldn’t get dinner as a result. Ended up eating pretzels until I felt sick.

Liked the staff ! Seats a little uncomfortable for a 9 hour flight. Wife ‘s monitor at her seat didn’t work. Food was disappointing. Snacks were good . Choices of movies and music could have been better.

Overall a great experience. The starlink internet was amazing addition.

They cancelled our flight and one after and then crammed everyone on a late flight. Refused to give us a meal voucher because the delay was less than 3 hours. In the end the delay was 4 hours. No reason was ever given for the cancelled flights. Fly Southwest!

There was mention of a complimentary magazine but none were in the seat pockets. The flight is short so understandable not having food or a snack.

unexpected $120 charge to sit next to my wife on an isle seat in the economy section. Looks like there pre-assigning us both on the middle seat was intentional - leaving the isle seat next to my wife open at $120 was a ploy to make more money. Not good business.

Flight delayed. Then left much later than new time. 88 year old dad waiting at Kona airport for ages.

This is my first time flying Hawaiian. It was so disorganized and poorly coordinated, resulting in the most unacceptable delay

Multiple delays and not straight answer from the United team

Stewardess spilled orange juice on my clothes/seat no help no apology just threw napkins at me to clean the mess up. Not Happy.

Smooth flight. Boarding was chaotic. Could not hear the gate agent over the intercom. People were lined up in the wrong lines. Groups one and two were told to board through line one and group 3 through line 2. All very confusing. Once in the air, the flight was smooth. There was no entertainment option on this aircraft, even though it was a larger aircraft.

The plane pushed back from the gate on time. However, it stopped on the ramp, and we waited for over 20 minutes before the aircraft pulled back to the gate. Apparently, something of importance had to be removed from the aircraft by the gate agent. I found this to be odd. The delay was not significant, but I felt that whatever was on the aircraft that had to be taken off, should’ve been done before we pushed back from the gate.

Electric plugs didn't work. Entertainment system wasn't working

The design of the light switch on the arm rest is ridiculous.

Smooth boarding process. Early departure, smooth flight, early arrival. The entertainment package has very good recent movie options. The flight crew were friendly and professional.

leg space better than expected. two washrooms for one plane isn't enough.

The gate attendant let me walk right by her with a bag too big for the overhead compartment

I just got back from a trip with 3 flights each way. The flights were good and we were happy with out experience. There was one steward on our first flight that was harsh and grump with passengers. It did not leave a good impression. All of the other flight crews were great on the other five flights.

We missed our flight. The boarding pass had the wrong gate and by the time we received the text from Kayak, our flight was already gone. I’ll never use Kayak again and will go direct to the airlines in the future.

Boarding took forever, the plane was cramped and cold, and the seatbelt song came on constantly throughout the red eye flight with a loud pre-recorded message playing each time

Cabin felt crammed Snacks are lame But crew was super efficient getting us out on time despite delay

Took off on time and successfully avoided weather that looked to be a problem along the way

There were five broken seats on the plane. The crew was very rude in telling people they had to get off the plane and get a flight the next day. No call for volunteers, but telling people they had to get off. One woman was flying with her elderly mother and daughter and was told she had to leave or all three had to leave. Fortunately, a volunteer offered to stay. The situation was handled poorly.

The flight to Tokyo AA61 took off about two hours late, but then had to turn back. By that time the crew had to be replaced. Then they kept promising to take off in an hour, then in 3, then switch to the next day.

Any sort of gluten free snack option would be nice

They lost my luggage and it didn’t get delivered until the next day.

Would have thought that they would gas up plane before everyone got on board

3 hours late. Not even water offered on a 2.25 hour flight.
