Flight from San Jose to Honolulu

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 Hawaiian AirlinesLAX-HNLApr 2025

Trust me and buy the ticket with Hawaiin Airlines. Sooo worth it.

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

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesLAX-HNLDec 2024

Not sure if all airlines charge just to get a seat but find an airline that doesn’t nickel & buck you to death. So you know when you go you have a seat otherwise fly Southwest

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesSFO-HNLFeb 2025

Stick with Hawaiian Airlines for the best exprrience

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesOAK-HNLJan 2025

Free airbuds so people can watch a movie

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesSFO-HNLJan 2025

Better grasp on what weather conditions will be and how you will respond. I shouldn’t have to sleep on the terminal floor tonight yet here I am…

JonathanFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesLAX-HNLDec 2024

Don’t take Hawaiian air if you don’t want to be delayed.

LeiFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesLAX-HNLOct 2024

I used to think Hawaiian. But now I recommend, Alaskan and Delta

William DrewFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-HNLNov 2024

Arrive at least two hours before your flight.

FSFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesOAK-HNLOct 2024

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

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesONT-HNLJul 2024

TSA was super fast. Easy airport to navigate.

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.

AlexandraFlew with United AirlinesLAX-HNLApr 2024

Delta is much better in terms of seat comfort and entertainment options.

phoFlew with Alaska AirlinesSJC-HNLMay 2024

Singapore airlines are pretty good with everything.. SJC is good small airport

JeffreyFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-HNLMar 2024

Try not to book a completely filled flight..

Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesSMF-HNLFeb 2024

Hawaiian pretty good, except for the lack of Wi-Fi
