FAQs - booking Hawaii flights

  • What visa do Australians need to fly to Hawaii?

    Australians planning on staying in Hawaii for 90 days or less generally do not need a visa. However, you will need to obtain an electronic visa waiver before departure. Also known as an ESTA, this can be applied for online. Since it’s valid for up to five years, it’s worth applying well before your departure dates, to ensure it is approved in time. You’ll also need a passport with blank visa pages and validity for at least six months from your travel dates. For a smooth experience at immigration, bring proof of your accommodation and your ticket out of the US.

  • Which Hawaiian airport is close to Haleakala National Park?

    If the volcano and hiking trails of Haleakala National Park are on your itinerary, you’ll need to head to Maui, which is serviced by Kahului Airport (OGG). You’ll find plenty of flights from Melbourne to Maui with carriers like United Airlines and American Airlines. Flights with United generally come with a stop in San Francisco (SFO), while flights with American Airlines generally stop in Los Angeles (LAX).

  • Which Hawaiian island should I fly to first?

    For a faster and more cost-effective trip from Melbourne to Hawaii, it’s generally worth flying in and out of Honolulu. You can then book internal flights, ferries, boat rides or even helicopters to get to the other Hawaiian islands you wish to visit. Qantas, Jetstar and American Airlines all offer excellent flight deals from Melbourne to Honolulu, with either direct flights or a quick stop in Sydney (SYD) along the way.

  • Which airport should I fly into if I’m going to Kauai?

    Kauai is serviced by Lihue Airport (LIH). While you will find flights from Melbourne to Lihue with airlines like United and American Airlines, these generally come with a stop in Los Angeles or San Francisco along the way. This adds significantly to the overall transit time. So, if shorter flight times are important to you, it may be better to fly to Honolulu first and then take a domestic flight to Kauai.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to Hawaii?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to Hawaii with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to Hawaii?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to Hawaii up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest time of day to fly to Hawaii?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Hawaii

  • Melbourne has two airports – Tullamarine (MEL) and Avalon (AVV). While Avalon does offer some international flights, there aren’t any routes to Hawaii from Avalon. So, regardless of which Hawaiian city you visit first, you will likely need to head to Melbourne Tullamarine Airport for your flight.
  • If direct flights are important to you, it may be best to start your Hawaiian adventure in the capital of Honolulu. Jetstar offers direct flights from Melbourne to Honolulu that generally come with a 10-12 hour transit time.
  • You’ll find four terminals at Melbourne Airport, and since they’re quite spread out, it’s important to double-check your ticket to ensure you’re dropped off at the correct one. Flights to Hawaii generally depart from Terminal 2, so this is likely where you will need to go.
  • If you’d like to freshen up before your flight to Hawaii, you’ll find free shower facilities in the departures lounge of Terminal 2, just after the duty-free section.
  • If you need somewhere to relax and gather your thoughts after your flight from Melbourne to Honolulu, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) features a number of cultural gardens. The C. B. Lansing Garden is convenient for arriving passengers; it can be found on the ground floor of Terminal 1.

Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.

Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.

Basic airline, aircraft and service. AA gets you from point A to B. My flight was delayed by 2 hours too.

Not great. The inflight entertainment was all on an app, and I did not want to watch a film on my phone. Also, the range of options of films was limited.

My flight from Dallas to Sydney was cancelled. My entire trip was rerouted to include the following: Hartford to Washington DC Washington DC to JFK JFK to Auckland Auckland to Christchurch I paid for an aisle seat on the flight to Auckland and was asked if I would take a window seat to accommodate a family. The agent at the podium failed to mention that the family had a 3 month old baby and that a bassinet would be used during the 16 hour flight. The only way I could get out of my seat was to crawl under the bassinet of the sleeping baby. I think it is wrong that I was no given the choice to sit in another seat, that the agent knew what she was doing and chose to not properly disclose my seating arrangement. Terrible treatment.

they ran out of fruit for breakfast and so I just had a yogurt instead. other than that the flight was good

Poor! This flight was delayed 14 hours. There was no assistance in helping customers find other routes to their destination, nor any other kind of support. It was a chaotic experience. I'm not likely to fly with AA going forward.

We were upgraded and after just a short delay in attending to a safety check we were on our way. Would definately fly Qantas International on their Dreamliner again.

I tried to check in online but was unable to do so. I stood in line for nearly two hours to check in. American Airlines was understaffed. When I finally got to the kiosk to check in, I was still unable to check in. No AA staff was available to help. Finally one of the airport security agents who was helping passengers became of lack of AA Staff told me: “I think the reason you can’t check in is that you are starting your name with an upper case letter when you write it. Just write it with all lower case letters.” That did allow me to check in. HOW COULD ANYONE POSSIBLY KNOW THAT IF THEY USE AN INITIAL UPPER CASE LETTER TO SPELL THEIR OWN NAME, AA WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO CHECK IN?????? Then I had to wait in line over half an hour again to drop off my baggage. Although I arrived at the airport 3 hours early, by the time I got to the gate, they had already started boarding.

Traditional economy class. Not a full flight so spare seats. Food and drinks were good

Delayed QF59 flight once again, Qantas doesn't fail in maintaining there delayed departures and arrivals. USB points do not work nor do the power point sockets on the plane, Qantas staff admitted that on the flight. Don't expect to your charge devices. Saving grace, was the ice cream. Bottom line, if you expect to fly to HND and make it on time avoid Qantas and if you're interested in ice cream - visit 7/11.

Jet star delayed both trips with poor communication. Passengers were made to change gates often and then left to stand with no seating. As someone getting over surgery this was very trying.

Delayed twice. Poor communication and people made to change gates too often.

Excellent help with Wife needing disability access at Brisbane airport

The flight was delayed by 2 hours but the Jetstar crew were fantastic.

Late leaving and desintuon board showed ‘gate closed’ when they hadn’t even commenced boarding!

Flight was delayed more than 1.5 hours. Gate changed multiple times

The good thing is that the flight got us from Darwin to Brisbane. However, it would have to be the most uncomfortable flight I have ever taken and if I can possibly avoid flying Jetstar again, I will.

no announcement about why we where delayed which is very poor

It was better than I expected. Thought $5 for a small cup of tea was a bit much!

Overall good trip I find seats a bit hard. We were waiting on board for about an hour for 2 passengers with some document issue. This main our arrival late for our pickup person.
