Hawaiian Airlines – Hawaii’s hometown carrier
Now in its 93rd year of continuous service, Hawaiian Airlines has a proud history of bringing travellers from around the world to the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaiian’s flights from Australia operate five times weekly from Sydney direct to Honolulu.
The overnight flights take off at 9.40pm, deliberately timed so that guests can land in Honolulu mid-morning, transfer to their hotels and be on the Waikiki sand by mid-afternoon.
Flight HA452 operates non-stop from Sydney departing at 9:40pm every Tuesday, Thursday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, arriving in Honolulu at 11.30am.
Flight HA451 returning to Australia operates five times weekly from Honolulu non-stop to Sydney, departing at 12.55pm every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, arriving in Honolulu at 7.45pm.
Hawaiian’s friendly crew welcome guests with warm and generous hospitality and the airline proudly showcases Hawaii through island-inspired complimentary meals, beers and cocktails and inflight entertainment selections include insights into the people, culture and attractions of Hawaii.
Because Aussies love to shop, Hawaiian also offers an industry-leading free checked bag allowance of 64kilos per passenger (2 x 32kilo bags). Many Aussie visitors arrive with empty bags, heading home with bargains from Honolulu’s shopping malls and factory outlets.
First-time visitors to Hawaii often spend their time discovering Waikiki and the laid-back North Shore of Oahu, before taking a domestic flight to one of the neighbour islands.
Hawaiian Airlines makes it easy to explore, operating more than130 flights a day, serving airports on four major islands.
With Hawaii’s borders open again and flights operating after a nearly two-year hiatus, the fauna, flora and natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands is flourishing, and Hawaiian Airlines is encouraging visitors to ‘Travel Pono’ - to experience the islands safely and respectfully.
Travel Pono means to explore with care, offering one’s kokua (help) to preserve Hawaii’s natural resources, cultures and communities.
Onboard transpacific flights, a specially produced a ‘Travel Pono’ video message features five Hawaiian Airlines crew members who also play a role in preservation, as a firefighter, volunteers for search and rescue operations and marine mammal protection, and a cultural practitioner.
Together they share expert advice on ocean and hiking safety, conservation of endangered species and the environment, and cultural and community best practices.
Around the world, wherever Hawaiian lands, the airline’s distinctive white, purple and silver livery stands out. From the tail of the aircraft, maiden Pualani - known as ‘the flower of the sky’ with her welcoming smile and proud gaze - looks out over the aircraft.
Even a maile lei, the lei used for important occasions, wraps around the body of the aircraft to symbolise the warm welcome Hawaiian Airlines extends to guests.
Flying with Hawaii’s hometown carrier, Hawaiian Airlines’ guests experience the warm and genuine Aloha Spirit of the Hawaiian Islands, long before they reach their destination.
