Flights from Honolulu to Los Angeles: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Honolulu to Los Angeles 
LeoFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2025
Avoid LAX if you can fly into other CA airport. LAX is very confusing. Our gate was adjacent to another that was boarding at the same time. We could not hear our boarding announcements. Almost missed our boarding group. Terminal 4 has multiple floors, the signs were okay, but a 3-D map is needed to fully comprehend your path. Very limited food options and super expensive restaurants with mediocre food (CrownLAX). Avoid LAX if your want a pleasant layover/transfer process.
Dr. SherrieFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2024
Pack your own snacks and download your movies and shows in case the WiFi doesn’t work.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2024
Not many places to eat at LAX after 9 pm, sandwiches are 11.99 at the convenience store. Everything else was good at both airports.
