We are supposed to arrive in Honolulu via Delta from LAX on Saturday September 10th at 11:00 AM. We have scheduled a connecting flight to Maui on Southwest at 12:55 PM.
Is this a bad plan and unrealistic to expect to be able to make that connection to Maui at that time?
This is a great forum with lots of good information.
It could well work fine, and then again it may not. The best place to see what’s happening with flight arrivals/departures, in our estimation, is https://flightaware.com/. You can check back and see if things have been on time, for both flights, before making any other plans. Hope it works out.
Yes, I was on one of those 50 flights yesterday that was delayed, which made it a VERY stressful day! My flight from Lihue to Oahu was delayed by 2 hours, which meant I missed my flight to Hilo. It was a frantic day of trying to get flights out of Lihue, as they kept putting me on another flight to try to make my Hilo flight, which then were subsequently late. By the time I arrived in Oahu, I had to immediately try to catch the last flight to Hilo, barely catching it. Next time I fly inter island, I will definitely try to take a direct flight or make sure there is enough time in between to allow for these possible snafus. Not fun! You could tell the Hawaiian airlines employees were scrambling trying to figure out what to do.

Did they say what caused the delays?
