Hi! Thank you for your excellent, helpful articles on my favorite place on Earth. We tested negative for Covid a month ago and are getting vaccinated soon. Can we travel to Hawaii after our 2 shots without a test?
Thank you!
Hi Michael.
Thanks. Not so far. We’ll be updating as soon as we learn more.
Aloha.

Yes, that’s a good thing. I also noticed that the CDC has said, there will be no quarantine for those who are fully vaccinated against Covid and hopefully that will be a good thing too.
Aloha Guys, very nice to have the updates.
Hi Roy.
Thanks. We hope to hear something from the state of Hawaii about that soon.
Aloha.
IF Hawai’i’s BOH follows CDC guidelines. No word on that yet, darn it!
Any updates on Kauai travel restrictions? Thank you.
Hi JC.
Nothing yet. Will let you know as soon as we hear anything.
Aloha.
Yes, I would much rather pay $20, rather than $90 to $200! However, I do note that it appears that they submit the cost to your insurance company to pay the rest. So, each person should check with their health insurer to see if they will pay for it completely (or will there be co-pays, coinsurance, deductible, etc.).
Aloha
Not sure what this has to do with SWA. City health has been offering $20 tests on appointment basis at these sites (and other off-airport) for months, regardless of airline carrier. My last one in sacramento was turned around in 11 hours, so im not sure how much value ‘prioritizing SWA passengers’ will add.
As of now all these locations still offer appointments for anyone regardless of carrier

What about a LAX solution?!? $20/person for guaranteed results even doable, even for family travel. But the mid-trip RE-test is going to be an issue. No other states have set this precedence. Maybe evidence of a vaccine gets you out of a mid-trip RE-test?
Will proof of vaccine take the place of the covid test for travel to Hawaii?
That would be nice since I’m already vaccinated. It could save me $200.
Luv me some Southwest! Free checked bags and now 20.00 tests…best customer led industry hands down.
It would if I could find a way to get Southwest to Hawaii without it costing me a bundle! From where we are, they literally are within $$$ of Hawaiian out of Phoenix and their schedule from here and back is horrendous!
