FAQs for booking flights from John Wayne (Santa Ana) to Honolulu

  • What are the qualifications for special group fare?

    Typically, you'll add up to six people to the same reservation with American Airlines. But when traveling as a group of ten or more, use the Group & Meeting Travel option to get discounted tickets. Group fares have a flexible schedule, and you can change the name on each ticket one time for free. There must be at least one flight segment in which all passengers in the group fly together.

  • Do I have a choice of seats, or can I change my seat assignment across all fares?

    With United Airlines, you can pre-select a seat or change your assigned seat in all ticket classes but the Basic Economy. Basic Economy seats are automatically assigned during the initial online booking and can only be changed once check-in opens. Ask the United agents at the gate if the seats are available or buy the Economy Plus seat.

  • Can I fly with my electric wheelchair aboard the aircraft?

    Alaska Airlines safely keeps electric wheelchairs in the cargo hold because some batteries may have corrosive elements and must be removed, wrapped, and tagged for safety reasons. Remember to carry a written user manual on disassembling and reassembling your electric wheelchair. However, manual wheelchairs, walkers, and canes can stay in the passenger cabin.

  • Which items count as carry-ons?

    American Airlines require carry-on bags to be at most 22 x 14.2 x 9.1 inches, including wheels and handles. Personal items must not be bigger than 17.7 x 13.8 x 7.9 inches. Musical instruments and pet carriers count as carry-on baggage, but safety child seats, mobility devices, medical appliances, breast milk coolers, breast pumps, and diaper bags do not.

  • What is the cheapest flight from John Wayne (Santa Ana) to Honolulu?

    In the last 5 days, the lowest price for a flight from John Wayne (Santa Ana) to Honolulu was $201 for a one-way ticket and $451 for a round-trip.

  • Do I need a passport to fly between John Wayne (Santa Ana) and Honolulu?

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from John Wayne (Santa Ana) to Honolulu

  • For a quicker trip, choose airlines that offer one layover between John Wayne Airport (SNA) and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), like United Airlines, Southwest, and Alaska Airlines. Common stopover points are San Jose Int'l Airport (SJC), Seattle-Tacoma (SEA), Portland Int'l Airport (PDX), Oakland Int'l Airport (OAK), San Francisco (SFO) Airport, and Las Vegas (LAS) Airport. However, American Airlines and Delta will likely have a second stopover at Kahului Airport (OGG) or Kona International Airport (KOA).
  • When bringing a minor (5-14 years) to John Wayne Airport (SNA) so they can travel alone to Honolulu International Airport (HNL), allow an extra 30 minutes for processing of the child's flight. United Airlines flight attendants will put the child's travel documents in an envelope and give them a wristband identifying him as an unaccompanied minor. The child is escorted to the aircraft with courtesy/priority boarding.
  • Enjoy the convenience of automatic check-in with Southwest Airlines EarlyBird Check-In at an additional fee. Instead of waiting 24 hours before your flight, you can reserve your boarding position 36 hours before scheduled departure. With improved seat selection, you have a high chance to grab your favorite seat and overhead storage.
  • Fly in an eligible cabin class like Delta One or have a SkyTeam Elite Plus status to enjoy unlimited access to Delta Sky Club Lounge at various stopover points. At Salt Lake City International (SLC) Airport, the lounge is on Level 2 of Concourse A, and at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International (MSP) Airport, you'll find the premier lounge on Concourse C of Terminal 1 near Gate C12. If your flight passes via SEA, check out Delta Sky Club Lounge on Concourse A next to Gate 1.
  • If you like watching your pet close by, choose an airline that accepts pets in the cabin, e.g., American, Delta, and United Airlines. On a flight by Southwest Airlines, avoid seats in the exit row or sections without under-seat stowage in front – they have no space for pets. Also, they do not accept animals as checked baggage; only six pets are allowed per flight.
