Best time to fly from Honolulu to Hilo

Every season has its case for Hilo. On the flight from Honolulu to Hilo, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Hilo to Honolulu

We book the return leg from Hilo to Honolulu just as easily, usually on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Honolulu to Hilo?

Flight prices from Honolulu to Hilo follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you through WhatsApp before you decide.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Honolulu to Hilo: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Honolulu to Hilo is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Honolulu to Hilo that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Inouye International Airport (HNL) and a driver waiting at Hilo International Airport (ITO).

Airlines flying from Honolulu to Hilo

Hawaiian Airlines and Southwest fly the Honolulu to Hilo route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Hawaiian Airlines - Honolulu to Hilo
• Southwest - Honolulu to Hilo

Departure: Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL)

Your journey starts at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. TheBus runs from the airport to Waikiki, and the Skyline rail line serves the airport area but does not reach Waikiki; with luggage, a private car takes about 20 to 30 minutes to Waikiki and is the practical choice for Ko Olina, Kailua and the North Shore.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Honolulu to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport

Arrival: Hilo International Airport (ITO) and getting into Hilo

You arrive at Hilo International Airport (ITO). Local transport and taxis leave from the arrivals level. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Hilo, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Honolulu to Hilo flight

On board, the Honolulu to Hilo flight is about 50 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
