Thank you for all your updates. It really helps to have your reporting on the status of flights for Hawaii. With the constant changes, it’s very difficult to keep up. Mahalo nui loa for all you do!!
Hi Suzanne.
Thanks for that!
Aloha
May I respectfully suggest that ALL State and County officials who have failed to launch a plan by October 15th their pay revoked (without reimbursement) every day after October 15th! Problem solved! I hope my fellow voters will react appropriately at the polls in November! Those making bad decisions (or no decisions) with pay have been acting to the complete detriment of those who are losing their businesses and livelihoods! This is a disgrace the way this has been handled!
Hopefully there will be enough Aloha to get this resolved by the 15th, but I am not holding my breath! I was on a flight the other night to LAX and the gate agent and 7 of the 8 flight attendants were employed for the last day at Hawaiian Airlines! It is awful what has happened to these folks and their families!
Too bad the “Aloha Spirit” is not shared by your Governor or Mayor’s. I thought they got rid of the Monarchy long ago. It seems as though they’d rather kill your entire economy and control its people. How will the Hawaiian people survive without any activity from tourists, other than government. Where is the $ coming from to support your State? Too bad Covid is going to take a few people, but Government cannot wave a magic wand and miraculously make it go away. How many of you reading this can afford to make your house payments and pay your bills and pay your taxes with no jobs? No tax money and no help from State because of it. Its one or the other, but not both.Too bad for those “subjects” that are considered Nonessential. Better find a better line of work, whatever that may be or get a Governor that cares about a vibrant economy before he kills even more from drugs, alcohol, depression or suicide than Covid-19.

Hopefully, PDX will follow in Oakland Airports footsteps and come up with a plan as well. Supposed to fly to Maui in January via Alaska Airlines. Fingers crossed!
Julie, Walgreens in Cornelius is doing travel testing as well as a local urgent care called afcurgentcareportland.com. I travel to the islands next month and will be looking at either of these.
Aloha Kristy,
I’m flying to Kauai next week on Hawaiian but they moved my SJC flight to SFO. I am going before the testing starts so I’m knowingly going to quarantine for 14 days. It’s a pain to drive to SFO but not that much of an extra drive. Good luck🌺
Thank you Beat of Hawaii for your frequent and informative updates. A friend and I had to reschedule our July trip to Kona to Nov 1. We were excited about news of the Oct 15 opening, but the information coming from authorities was confusing. Without your clear, concise reporting we’d be even more confused that we are! 😉 Our flights from Seattle have been cancelled and changed. We expect more changes before we depart Nov 1. Concern seems to be the return flights…we might get stranded in Hawaii! (Anyone have an extra bed?) We are also a bit concerned about the COVID-19 testing and getting the right test, at the right time and what to expect when (if) we arrive. Keeping our fingers crossed. Keep up the good work. Mahalo.
Hi Lesley.
Thanks. We’ll be updating this multiple times, as the state releases the much needed new information and clarification.
Aloha.
I’m not sure what this means for Kauai? Any ideas? I have a 2 week trip planned staying 12/28.😰
How do I get to Kauai to check on my property? I normally fly on Alaska Airlines from San Jose to Lihue on a direct flight. Thanks.
Hi Kristi.
We’ll update you with more flight information from the other airlines soon.
Aloha.
Thanks for your timely updates, as usual. You mentioned the $250 Co-Vid testing by other carriers. I am not sure if United is using the Abbott Labs test which is only $5, but kind of disgusting that they would try to charge so much when they would in turn be hurting their own revenue streams by pushing fliers to other carriers that don’t charge so much.
Hi Jon.
The cost of these is dropping by the day it seems. Let’s see where this ends up.
Aloha.
The risk to tourists catching covid 19 from the residents of Hawaii is at least as great as the tourist spreading it to the residents. So it seems like a completely unfair requirement to test travelers to Hawaii. And any talk of double testing seems even more outrageous. I’m beginning to believe that Hawaiians seem to think they are no longer part of the USA. They want all the benefits of bailouts and loans from the federal government but at the same time feel free to blatantly discriminate against mainlanders. This is totally unacceptable.
The people that aren’t getting tested before landing here should be escorted to a covid-19 Quarantine facility in Waikiki. No if, ands, or buts about it. You know that if they are coming for 7 days they are not going to quarantine. Too much risk involved for us locals.
Thanks for your comment but..Wow…just Wow…
Hawaii’s ICU capacity is currently at 70%. If we go to 100%, there is no place to go. Unlike the Mainland, we don’t have a neighboring State we can send you to. We currently are experiencing a Nursing shortage.
I’m sorry you find it unacceptable that we are trying to keep this virus at bay. You may find a different Hawai’i when you visit. Residents are more concerned about the health and safety of their friends and family than they are about whether or not tourists are spending $$ and enjoying themselves.
Please respect us and we will respect you…

Mahalo Jen B!
Your comment was spot on and I wish people would understand just how fragile Hawaii is because there aren’t close neighboring states to offer ICU beds and hospital relief. Stay strong!
Love and Aloha! Nani
