  1. Been keeping up and enjoying your updates as well as the newspaper on Kauai.. We have been visiting Kauai every year for many years and love the island very much ! We are scheduled to visit again this year at the end of May…
    My question to you is , in your opinion, will the 14 day quar antine for arriving visitors still be in effect ?

    1. Hi Lori.

      We’d suggest waiting at least a few more weeks so that we’ll know more. If you want a gut opinion, it would be that end of May is not likely to to see flights other than essential operating in any event.

      Aloha.

  2. Well, I’ve said Inhave been waiting on HA to contact about whether they were going to cancel my May 15 flight from San Diego to Maui. This is the response I received via Facebook messenger today. It’s very misleading as if they may or may not be flying.

    Aloha Stephanie, in reviewing, it appears that your flights are operating as scheduled . We continue to monitor the situation closely and will make adjustments on our policy as deemed necessary. Please check our website regularly for our latest travel advisory. Mahalo.

    1. Hi Steph.

      We’d concur that makes no sense and there seems no chance that flight will be operating. As other people have suggested in comments, you might just try reaching out again soon and see if you get a different response.

      Aloha.

    2. Stephanie: Contact your credit card company customer service department. They work for you, the airline does not. My flight was in early May. I had to send them proof, which I printed out from my flight information on the Hawaiian web site . I got a complete refund for the tickets and seat upgrades.

    3. Aloha Steph I received the same message. I sent them a response but have not heard anything. Hang in there – love Kauai and will return next year. Mahalo

  3. Thanks for Updating the Airlines, I have NOT heard a squeak from DELTA, but, then again our Flight is not till Early December!.

  4. It’s really nice to the airlines rising to the occasion and having their customer’s backs during this time. My faith in Hawaiian has been completely restored. Ultimately, when this mess all blows over, the airlines that have accommodated their customers will find them to be more fiercely loyal than ever.

  5. Hi, Just wonder why you have no info on American Airlines since they fly from Kona as well as other cities on the islands. /we are scheduled to return from the mainland early June…think they will be flying PHX to KOA? Thank you so much for your updates.

    1. Hi Dee.

      That was an oversight and has been corrected – thanks for pointing it out. As for what will be happening in June, it is too early to know. Please check back soon as we will have updates as soon as possible.

      Aloha.

  6. Hi my question is what about those of us flying to the mainland In June what does it look like for us? Mahalo

    1. Hi Lori.

      Please check back in a few weeks, when we hope to know more. We’ll keep publishing everything we learn.

      Aloha.

  7. Mahalo nui for your timely updates! Have you received any updates from American? I have a trip planned 5/18 – 6/7 to help my mother who has eye surgery planned (dr hasn’t cancelled as of yet). Yesterday I got an email from AA saying a leg was cancelled. When I checked my rez, AA just rerouted me thru PHX to LAX. However, my arrival in LAX is 2 hrs after my connecting flight to HNL takes off. A useless reroute. Since I have time, I thought I’d just wait. But does it seem odd to reroute someone such they would miss their connecting flight? Thank you again–

    1. Hi Linda.

      We did update American when another commentor also pointed out that omission. Yes that does seem strange about your re-routing. For essential travel, you’ll be able to get there one way or another. Getting back, we’ll see where Hawaii is at, and we hope to know more soon in that regard.

      Aloha.

  8. Curious, currently have a trip scheduled for end of July. Thinking of maybe going during Christmas if all is not quite well yet. Should I proceed to ask for a reschedule during that time? Or possibly to next year during the same time?

  9. I have a trip planned in September the beginning of September of this year and I’ve already bought my airline tickets should I cancel or just keep keep the reservations and see what happens thank you very much and have a great day because we’re celebrating their retirement over there

    1. Hi Donna.

      At this point it would be best to wait, and see what happens in the next month or two.

      Aloha.
