We have condo reservations for the end of August. If this does not happen we will definitely reschedule when Hawaiian Air is in business again!
It would be great to know “when?”. Kailua Kona under “stay home order” and without the tourists is no fun whatsoever. It is just simply dead, you can’t access your favorite beach spot without thinking twice, and you never knew how much life quality here really depended on your local coffee shop and all the friends there. That said…
Dr. Fauci also said, ‘You don’t make the timeline. The vi rus makes the timeline’. We just completed our first rounds of Covid testing; 200 people were tested in Kailua Kona, for example. But then we were told that we would not get the results FOR 2 ENTIRE WEEKS. They said something about having to send our test samples to state authorities in Honolulu first, and of having to coordinate with CDC. How crazy is that? No wonder we have only 5 “official” cases. We here on the Big Island have no idea how far this has spread in our communities. Making a timeline, under these conditions, seems kinda risky.

We will be coming to Oahu, June 18th on Hawaiian Airlines staying at a Marriott Property. Hopefully, we can still come.
We are scheduled to return home via SEA to LIH April 20 on Alaska Airlines. We are travelling with a large dog. I just called Alaska and they said our flight is not (as of yet) cancelled and right now they are expecting it to fly. Are they just lying to us? Do to the complications of flying with our dog we would like to know ahead of time. Anyone have any guidance?
Just be prepared to be kenneled up with your dog😄
Alaska is still flying.
My husband commutes from cali every month normally Hawaiian airlines but is flying home In may with Alaska.
You should be ok.
I am sure you are stressed about the schedule and your dog. I would call the Vet that is planning on meeting you and your dog upon arrival and talk them about your situation. They might be able to offer some reassurance that all will be fine should your flight have to delayed. I think the most important thing is that you have all your other ducks in a row with your paperwork and they have all the paperwork in hand on their end.
Our May 19 trip is cancelled. We were able to get our hotel credit and are waiting for Hawaiian Air to refund our fares.
We plan to travel to Maui in May 2021 – it will be our 40th wedding anniversary.
Looking forward to reading about life in Hawaii during the quar antine. Stay well.
Mahalo and much Aloha to you and all the wonderful people of Hawaii.
Hi Debi.
Thank you!
Aloha.
We have a 2 week Oahu/Maui trip planned beginning May 30th. We plan to wait until the end of April to see whether we will be able to go or have to cancel. If we have to cancel, planning to reschedule for December.
Have flights for Kauai and Hawaii for 6/6/2020 and 6/13/2020 that have not been cancelled and reservation that are still good. Al long as flights are not cancelled and Hawaii lifts the 14 day quar antine we will be there in June. Absolutely love Hawaii and come every couple years (6-13 people at a time!!). Aloha
Hi Noralee.
Hope it all works out for your plans.
Aloha.
Hoping you and Rob and all Islanders remain healthy. “This, too, shall pass.” We have trip planned to B.I.in early 2021. Hoping all is well by then.
Hi Colleen.
Our best to you guys and your family. Look forward to seeing you again.
Aloha.
We’re currently booked for travel from Houston to Maui on May 9th, so obviously, we will have to postpone. This article is the first place I’ve seen a date in writing. “Beat of Hawaii: Travel to Hawaii is now on hold at least through May 20.” Waaaahhhhh!
Hi Liz.
Thanks for all your comments over the years! We know that Hawaiian did not pull that date out of a hat. It would appear to us that is the soonest possible that travel could resume. One thing for sure, when it opens safely, we will all be ready for it.
Aloha.
Trip planned to Maui planned for late April/early May. This week Southwest Airlines cancelled our departing flight, but I still have a return flight booked (strange). The Marriott property we are staying at called us yesterday to inform the hotel will be closed and will be cancelling our reservation. They mentioned they are taking reservations for arrivals arrival dates in mid/late May. Need to figure out how to get back later in the year.
