  1. We are flying from Phx to Maui in October, hopefully all this will be lightened up by then! 🤞

  2. How far in advance will we be notified by Alaska airlines to obtain pre-clearance to go to Maui in June 18

  3. Please reconsider travelers returning to Hawaii who have flights cancelled or delayed due to weather and subsequently fall out of the 72 hour Covid test for last link of mainland departure a variance. Especially if they can produce a valid Covid negative test for original flight and or a vaccine CDC verification. To have returning travelers venturing out into dangerous
    weather condition for Covid retesting because the 72 hour window has passed due forced flight cancellations is subjecting them and family to physical harm-Times are difficult enough.

    Respectfully,

    1. Hi David.

      If your scheduled flight is canceled or delayed, you are not responsible and the 72 hours will not be strictly adhered to. If there’s any question on that, suggest you call the Safe Travels Hawaii Program Service Desk toll-free at 1-855-599-0888 between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time.

      Aloha.

      1. Called Safe Travels 3 days ago, stayed on the phone for 40+ minutes then left my call back number. Still no return call.

        My guess; way too many inquires for a small staff with no funding for a larger staff.

    1. They will want to take a temperature and you will have to wait in line still. I am at the airport now and this is what they told me. We do not qualify for the pre clear

  4. Do you still have to be tested if you had Covid? Or can you show proof of your positive test results and be date?

  5. If travelling to Maui you also must show that you have AlohaSafe Alert or other tracking app on your phone. I think it’s required for, at least, 1 person in your family or travel pod.

  6. Why dosen’t Kauai get with the program? They are making it difficult to vacation and spend money. yeesh
