    Please let me know if you think there will be Phoenix to Hawaii flights, that would really be awesome as we live outside of Phoenix. And we would love to see I Oahu again, also Maui
    Thank you so much for your continued coverage and updates, you people are awesome thank you michael l, Prescott Arizona

      Hi Michael.

      Thank you. Yes we believe that Phoenix will be on their radar. Probably not this year, which will be taken up with getting the 5 west coast cities hooked to the 4 or 5 island destinations. But thereafter for sure.

      Aloha.

    Aloha and mahalo for continued coverage of this exciting news. We head out Thursday to Maui for a couple of weeks, flying with HA. It will be interesting to see how much the flights on SWA are in comparison. We go to the islands about once a year so adding an additional carrier (with free checked luggage!) will be interesting. Unfortunately our airport of choice (John Wayne) is hardly on anyone’s radar so we fly out of LAX – San Diego poses a whole new set of logistics – like taking the train to the airport. Safe and fun travels everyone! And again mahalo BOH.

      Just curious, since John Wayne isn’t an option, rather then go to LAX how come you don’t use Hawaiian out of Long Beach?
      Just tried it and it was great….

    Thanks BOH for your updates…you have better updates than the carrier itself! I have been hearing about this since the last quarter of 2017. Seems as if the other carriers are selling cheap to capture flyers befwhat reservations they can before the bottom drops out on the pricing! Hoping flights start by April…Thanks again!!!

    Seeing Southwest first proving flight scheduled to land at HNL 14:45 on February 5! Getting so close can’t wait!

      Just saw on the news that the SWA Maintenance practices are still under investigation by the FAA. The investigation was from having had two flights were the engines exploded and the plane had to make an immediate emergency landing. Obviously had they been over the Pacific at the time they could very likely have had a very bad outcome.
      Any idea if these test flights are an attempt to nudge the FAA into action or is the FAA actually going to grant approval while
      their investigation is still ongoing?

    What would you guys say is the appropriate amount of time to wait for Southwest to fly to Hawaii? We have a condo booked June 5th in Oahu. I dont want to keep waiting and pass up on a decent price, then the prices skyrocket. Help, please!!!

    Thanks in Advance!

      Hi Murph.

      We do not expect there to be flights from SNA to Hawaii as much as that would seem desirable.

      Aloha.

    Thanks for keeping us informed on SWA flights to Hawaii. We live in Denver and want to be on the Big Island for a family reunion in June. SWA has lots of flights from here to the west coast every day, so we don’t think it will be a problem to connect with a flight to Hawaii. Please keep us updated. Mahalo!

    Many Thanks to BOH for their fantastic and timely updates on SWA’s Hawaii flight plans. I did not appreciate the negative comments about SWA’s delays in getting to HI when the government shutdown was out of their control! I for one am excited to once again being able to plan a flight to Kauai in the near future. My wife and I went last March and had a wonderful time and I would like to take her again this summer or early fall when the weather their is even better than it was in March. BOH, keep up the great job you are doing with the updates on SWA’s plans for Hawaii service. Thanks again!

    Thank you for the thorough coverage! I just got back from a visit to Oahu and I miss it already. I had found your site when just searching for general Hawaii tips and was nicely surprised to see updates about Southwest!

    I’m based in LA and really do hope they are able to add LAX to HNL flights soon. I would love it even more if eventually they can even do flights out of Burbank as there aren’t any direct flights from there to Hawaii currently. It is a smaller airport though but it’s SO much easier to fly from there than from LAX!
