I’ve been seeing mixed answers regarding the big island. Will it be opting out for sure or still undecided? I read an article that said they agreed but we must take another test upon arrival. I will be travelling there on the 22nd any info will be appreciated.
Hi Marlen.
We are all awaiting an update on that. We’ll put it up as soon as we know definitively.
Aloha.
Does anybody have any info on The testing for minors in Colorado? There’s no CVS in Colorado and Walgreens will only test adults. Can’t seem to find any of the other partner ones are available there. We have a layover in LA and I know American Airlines is offering testing there. But are they going to except a test for American Airlines? Did they get that sorted out? Our flight is October 22.
Just finishing visiting the various sites listed above to find a covet test in San Diego county. There are none available. In fact none of the facilities will give you a test if you are not sick, been exposed to someone who is sick, or work in the field or you’re exposed to people who have covid 19. So it appears that Hawaii is not ready for any travel for any customers unless you’re flying out of Seattle, San Francisco on United. The other airlines are currently not offering testing. Don’t understand why Hawaii is controlling who you can get a test from, instead of letting the customer find a facility that does the specific test that the state wants. The state is pushing all customers to United and you have to fly through San Francisco.
Could anyone please tell me if a person still has to take a covid test preflight if they’ve already had covid and are past the 14 day quarantine period and can provide proof of their positive test result?
Hi Kym.
Yes, you still need to be tested.
Aloha.
Please update us on Kauai and big island Hawaii status. Will they accept no quarantine with negative test?
Hi Pat.
Yes it is virtually a certainty that they will. More details will be coming out.
Aloha.
Hi
I learned that Hawaiian Air is discontinuing O Hana flights yo Lana’i.
What options are available to get to that island?
unfortunately if your travel to another island you must quarantine 14 days once you arrive there
Ohana everyone. Does someone know which walgreens test is the one we’re supposed to take 72hrs before? They provide 2 different ones. The RT-PCR diagnostic Panel results in 3 days and the Rapid Point of Care (POC) test results given within an hr. I have a flight on the 22nd and want to make sure I take the right one. Mahalo
Hi Marlen.
There is a phone number for asking technical questions on the state’s website. Suggest contacting them. Our take is that is the PCR test
Aloha.
We have now re-booked 4 different times due to updates from the state government which has cost us dearly. We were to get tested on Tuesday next week for a Friday arrival. We had appts at an approved NAAT CLIA lab and now are forced to test at an approved partner. There are none in our state (Utah) that will test minors so I assume we’re out our luck again? Am I missing something? The test from the home option requires a govt issued id, which no minor can get unless they have a drivers license, which is not something my 11 & 14 year old have. Thoughts?
