Thank you for including upcoming mandates so we can decide if we need to reschedule our trip to Kona.
I am concerned that October is 2 months away and talking about a nother lockdown
Thank you
We just returned from the Big Island yesterday, and although we had a nice time, I would advise traveling to Hawaii right now if you can wait. The airport was a nightmare. The TSA screening lines were unreal and people there were not exactly full of aloha. The governor reduced the capacity for restaurants and it was pretty much impossible to get a restaurant reservation unless you made it weeks in advance. The island needs the tourists’ money but they are ill prepared to handle the influx of visitors. If you are planning on cooking the whole trip, you might be better off, but be prepared to jump through a million hoops just to get on the plane and out of the airport. And car rentals are scarce and ridiculously expensive. Maybe a nice YouTube video of the islands right now and a tropical drink in the privacy and calmness of your den might suffice. We’ll return, but it will be awhile, Mahalo.
Correction- *wouldn’t advise traveling
Have a ticket for Hawaiian in Sept, round trip from Maui to Sacramento and back. Main cabin, economy. Currently they are refusing to issue us a travel credit even though we will not fly do to the delta covid virus. Hope this changes soon???
Mahalo, David, Lahaina…
Just actually called Hawaiian airlines yesterday August 12th to try to change our tickets. Because we can’t go because of covid. They refuse to change it. So I’m really hoping that they will come around to this new policy of free changes that the other airlines are doing. No more flying on Hawaiian for me
United Airlines is the most accommodating when it comes to making changes to flights. Hawaiian Airlines will not change flights even when it says you can. Then when you get your flight credit number, they make you call in and book your flight. When you’re talking to the representative, they’ll give you some BS about prices and you can literally have the prices for the same ticket pulled up and they’ll say that the price for rebooking is double. True Story!!
The Hawaiian Islands are stressed with the surge of Covid cases and the lack of medical facilities.
Please relay your visit to Hawaii and travellers that are in Hawaii please take advantage of this offer to fly home early. Thank you.
Ugh! We still have unused tickets on Hawaiian from 2020 we need to use by next May. With Hawaii headed in the wrong direction, I doubt things will get back to a place we want to visit by May. Maybe HA will extend our ticket value.
Yeah there must be a drop. Because HawIian Air cancelled our return non stop flight back to Boston on the 17th of Sept. So we had to change connecting inter-island flights and move our departure up a day. Now we lose a day in Hawaii. Hawaiians response to that was “We are sorry”. Sorry doesn’t m a ke up a lost day and hotel fees.
I hope United considers the costs and inconvenience they cause us when they arbitrarily cancel our flights. Last February they cancelled my direct flight to Kauai and rerouted me to Honolulu. I had already paid for my night at the Marriott on Kauai and then had to purchase a hotel stay in Honolulu. Not only was that costly but I lost a days vacation on Kauai. United Airlines offered no compensation for our costs or inconvenience. That is just plain wrong!
Please see if you can get United to read this.
Mahalo,

Aloha!
I need help with understanding the new relaxed rules. I want to fly Feb 2022 OGG to SFO. I would have 1 year (Feb 23) to change with no change fee. Which carrier in your opinion offers the most flexibility for my travel dates.
Mahalo!
Hi Carolann.
This only applies to travel booked for 2021 dates.
Aloha
Southwest offers the most flexibility and still allows two free checked baggage. If you need to cancel, you get a year to use the travel credit.
