Flight from Oakland to Honolulu

SoosnataFlew with Delta-Feb 2026

I prepaid my baggage fee through the Delta App during web check-in; however, I was unable to locate the receipt afterward. It would be helpful if prepaid baggage receipts were clearly linked within the trip details section and/or accessible under the traveler profile for easy retrieval. This added visibility would enhance transparency and provide greater convenience for customers managing their travel documentation. Overall, a small enhancement that could further elevate the digital experience.

KhahnieFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2026

Give yourself plenty of time. Bring a lot of patience and practice kindness. Also bring a portable charger

IreneFlew with Delta-Jun 2025

Click the QR code to do the Ag declaration before you board

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Mar 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 Airlines-May 2025

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

LawrenceFlew with United Airlines-May 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 Southwest-Dec 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

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Oct 2024

It varys to the airport state and country. The United States have large airports with the availability of WiFi and charging ports and usable electrical outlets In Romania, WiFi was limited to areas and weak . Warsaw Poland WiFi was much better But still no charging visible. If you travel to Europe you will need a adapter to use there and convert your plug to charge up your mobile phone/tablet/ laptop.

FSFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Oct 2024

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

William DrewFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024

Arrive at least two hours before your flight.

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 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 Airlines-Mar 2024

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