We’re booked for a May 31 – June 11 trip to Honolulu and Molokai – any ideas on that far out, as far as cancellations? We are on board with postponing as needed, and encourage others to do the same, the islands need mainlanders and other tourists to stay away for now, but more importantly to come back when it’s safe for everyone to do so. Until then, we can all go to Hawaii Food Basket food shelf online to donate and help the Hawai’ian people who host us, and who are suffering without the business right now, when it’s not safe for them to host visitors. Aloha.
Hi Laura.
We’ll need to wait until it is closer to have any idea how far out cancellations will go. You may have seen that we just posted about Alaska Air and they are seeing adjustments to schedule for several months.
Aloha.
I have a non refundable round trip ticket on Hawaiian Airlines between HNL and HANEDA lv 5/31 and returning mid June. What is the policy for receiving a full refund if the airlines decide to cancel the flight?
Hi! Hawaiian is still offering me a waiver for my April 9 flight only if I rebook to come to Hawaii. You still have to pay the price difference. I think flights would be more $$. I checked Thanksgiving week and it cost 3 times as much as my current flight ($1500) round trip. I don’t plan to rebook this year since I already have another trip planned for this summer. I’m going to wait until Hawaiian cancels my flight. Then ask for refund. I’ve tried to communicate with them through chat but not very effective.
I called in, my flight for April 8 was cancelled. I would have liked a set of tickets at the same price for later but all they offered was a credit, and I need to pay the fare difference, or a refund. I chose refund.
Mahalo for keeping up with ALL of the flight refund info that is coming out it seems like every few hours. Kauai can wait a while (hopefully) for all of us to come back better and stronger!
Aloha!
Hi Scott.
Thank you.
Aloha.

Aloha! So sorry we had to change our April plans to visit the islands, however we understand the need to protect one another! In regards to our tickets on American, we rebooked for June with no change fee and each ticket was priced $200 higher, which was waived. We have taken a credit for our SWA interisland flight to Hilo, which will be good until June 2021. We are still holding interisland tickets to Maui and Kauai. Mahalo for keeping us updated on the constantly changing Hawaii travel landscape. We continue to hope these strange times come to an end soon for all.
Hi Al.
Thank you.
Aloha.
Hi
I flew on February 22 on 2 Hawaiian Air flights.
After that day I read where a flight attendant on Hawaiian Air had C V. I immediately contacted the HA service center and left a message inquiring the flights this employee was on. I have not received a reply. I am deeply concerned that I could be infected because of this possible exposure.
I sent a second request. Still no reply. What can I do to learn about my possible exposure to C V on an Hawaiian Airplane flight?
That was over a month ago. Surely your body would have told you by now. If that provides no comfort, call your doctor for the same answer.
I agree with Denise.
I still have not heard about possible exposure
Yeah, both United and Hawaiian area taking their sweet time actually cancelling my flights, even though they know that they’re going to have to due to the recent travel restrictions. I’ve been planning on waiting for a refund the whole way. First, who knows if I’ll be able to travel by the time the vouchers expire, and secondly, who knows if this crisis won’t force airlines into bankruptcy? In that case, they probably wouldn’t have to pay me anything. Nope, I’ll wait until the last moment, make them cancel, and then demand a refund. Right now, I could use the money to pay bills, anyway.
If your original flight time has been updated to a different flight time for the same day does it count as a cancellation of original flight? I can’t make the new updated flight time. I am looking for a refund not credit.
Anything about Alaska Airlines? When will they be letting their customers know when their flight is canceled? It looks like nothing has changed on my booked flight for mid April. Thanks.
Hi Kristi.
Nothing yet. We’ll definitely let you know.
Aloha.
