Currently, there are no non-stop
flights from the UK to the Hawaiian Islands, mainly due to the
distance from the UK. The most convenient way of getting there is
via a connection at an American or Canadian city, and the following
is a list of the Airlines that offer through service to the islands
and the routes they operate.
Air
Canada: Offer daily connecting flights to
Honolulu from Heathrow via Toronto or Vancouver
United
Airlines: Offer through services with same
day connections from Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and
Heathrow via Newark, Washington, Los Angeles and San Francisco to
Honolulu (Oahu), Maui, Kauai and Kona (Hawaii Big island). They
also offer non-stop flights from Chicago and Denver to Honolulu
American

day connections from Heathrow via Los Angeles to Maui, Kauai and
Kona (Hawaii Big island). They also offer non-stop flights from
Dallas to Honolulu and Maui
Alaska

Seattle and Portland to Honolulu, Maui, Hawaii Big Island and
Kauai, which can be used in conjunction with other airlines from
the UK
Delta
Airlines: Currently, no Delta flights
from the UK make a same day connection to their Hawaiian
flights, so an overnight stay will be required. However, they can
offer a same day connection by using Virgin Atlantic's flight from
Heathrow to LA, They offer non-stop flights to Honolulu
(Oahu) from Atlanta, Los Angeles, Detroit and Salt Lake City,
and to Maui from Los Angeles and Salt Lake City
Hawaiian

flights from cities in the American West to Honolulu and Maui.
Their flights from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose,
Las Vegas, San Diego, Seattle, Portland and Phoenix can be used in
connection with other carriers flights from the UK. They also
provide a weekly service between Honolulu and Tahiti, currently
operating on a Saturday/Sunday schedule.
Korean
Air: Offer a very competitive price for
flights to Honolulu from Heathrow via Seoul in South Korea, but it
is the long way around.
Domestic Flights around the
Islands
There are currently two major
domestic airlines operating in Hawaii; Island Air, and Hawaiian Airlines. They operate an extensive domestic
flight network covering all the islands, with frequent and regular
departures operating between 6am and 9 pm
There are a number of aircraft and helicopters available for
private charters throughout Hawaii, so arranging charters between
the main and/or outer islands is very easy. At this time, there are
no seaplanes available for chartering in the Hawaiian chain, which
is a little disappointing for flying boat fans!
Airline Seat
Maps
For most airlines, we can
pre-reserve seats for you once your flight booking is confirmed,
and if no charge is applied, will do so as a matter of
course. If there is a charge by the airline for this, we will
only do this with your approval. If you would like to have a
look at a seat plan for your aircraft, one of the best websites for
this information is SeatGuru.com, which
is part of the Tripadvisor group. Click Here to
