Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesSMF-HNLMar 2025

Bring a blanket for the flight and your own snacks. WiFi on the plane was great and the leg room in our seats was good also

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesSJC-HNLMay 2025

Get there early, you may have to walk to a different terminal

LawrenceFlew with United AirlinesSFO-HNLMay 2025

Get to your gate early!!! Very little seating at/near gates 19, 20, 21 and 22. The last couple of flights, American boarding (very different gates) has been very straightforward. The last time on United, boarding at gate 19 was bedlam. Really going to look hard before scheduling on United next time!!!

William DrewFlew with SouthwestSJC-HNLDec 2024

If you're flying from San Jose, arrive at the airport early. You never know how long the line at TSA will be. If you have time, the airport has well-designed facilities and reasonable priced restaurants. The Southwest ground staff is professional and will help you through the check-in and cattle call boarding process

FSFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesOAK-HNLOct 2024

Bring your own headset, else you need to pay for some, if you need them.

William DrewFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-HNLNov 2024

Arrive at least two hours before your flight.

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesSAN-HNLMay 2024

I suggest packing a big snack bag and a large water bottle in case there are any issues with the flight causing a delay. When there are delays, no food is served, so you are stuck in a chair hungry and thirsty.

MichaelFlew with Alaska AirlinesSAN-HNLMar 2024

Get there early as possible for the long haul across the Pacific.
