That’s so disappointing to hear, too bad you couldn’t fly back to LA and get tested in the airport and then go back to Hawaii.
We had the opportunity to visit our daughter on Oahu back in January and loved every minute of it. Not sure if I would go back until things get back to normal.
Planned a really nice and expensive graduation trip to Hawaii. Had negative test results within 24hrs of our departure however the stat of Hawaii would not accept our test because the lab was not an affiliated partner. I understand the want and need to protect everyone but I think the rules should be more consistent and actually use the medicine and science behind it. We are also vaccinated but weren’t vaccinated in the state of Hawaii so still had to quarantine. We ended up leaving after spending one day in Hawaii. As a physician I will never understand the handling of this pandemic. Super disappointed in my experience please don’t let it happen to you.
Here is my problem. We are flying from Hawaii to Honolulu for 1 day (leaving 8am flying back in 9pM. Now I find that out that interisland travel has changed back to requiring a pretest for the flight back in to Hawaii, adn I have to be tested on Honolulu – which its a 1 day trip so I can’t get results back in 24 hours, so I would be quarantined. I have TRIED AND TRIED for over 10 hours to get Hawaiian airlines to change the flight by 1 day so that we can just be quarantined in a hotel for 1 day until we leave and fly back home, So please somebody help! I’m trying to be honest here, but this is ridiculous. I am also fully vaccinated. My 15 year old son is not.
Hi Lisa.
We deleted your all-upper-case-text, which is not permitted per our comment policy.
There are accepted tests from trusted partners in Honolulu that will return results in under one hour. Check Hawaii Pacific Health for one. Likely there are others too.
Aloha.
I thought Hawaii was now allowing inter-island travel without quarantine or pretest for people vaccinated in Hawaii? Did that get called off?
If you are vaccinated in Hawaii, as in live there. If you are vaccinated in the states and traveling to the the islands, it is still not called off and probably won’t be until July or later.
but Shout-out to Hawaiian Airlines who finally texted me back!!!
I was going to have to pay $350 for my & my sons test and jump through hoops to get the test done on Honolulu to get back to the Big island on the same day and still might have been quarantined in the airport or hotel- not able to get my luggage from the condo after getting the test done.
So instead of paying $350 for the test, I was able to get the return flight changed to the same day I am flying home and spent $400 for a hotel for 2 nights in Honolulu instead. so Thank you to Hawaiian Airlines agent for helping me! If I could find them I would hug them! and thank you to this forum for at least letting me know about the rapid tests that get results in 20 minutes.
Covid anxiety is an absolute public hysteria. A total gaslight. Covid is worse than the flu….but it is way closer to the flu than it is to the Spanish Flu. We will look back on our response to this with absolute shame. What a disaster for the poor business owners and workers victimized by the H government
Thanks for the info we had to cancel our Christmas trip to Kauai. No one will put up with these crazy rules. All our flights were canceled anyway. My state had no lock downs everyone is fine. Don’t be afraid of the media hype on covid. It is just the flu bro.
Thank you Beat Of Hawaii for clarifying the Hawaii/Kauai rules for our visitors. If I were to take a very expensive vacation during a Pandemic, I would make sure I studied the rules everyday prior to departure.
Hi Erin.
Good point on being sure. Thanks.
Aloha.
