Quickly we write to you by WhatsApp with the options for that day, the fare that includes the bags you need and the price.

• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat

Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Kauai to Honolulu flight with a transfer from your hotel to Lihue Airport (Kauai) (LIH) and a driver waiting at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL).

Airlines flying from Kauai to Honolulu

On the flight from Kauai to Honolulu you can choose between Hawaiian Airlines and Southwest Airlines. A full-service airline normally includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

• Hawaiian Airlines - Kauai to Honolulu
• Southwest Airlines - Kauai to Honolulu

Departure: Lihue Airport (Kauai) (LIH)

Lihue Airport (Kauai) (LIH) is where the Kauai to Honolulu flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.

• 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 offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Kauai to Lihue Airport (Kauai)

Arrival: Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) and getting into Honolulu

You arrive at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). 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. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Honolulu, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Onward flights or trains from Honolulu the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Kauai to Honolulu departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Kauai to Honolulu flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Kauai to Honolulu. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• 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 carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Flying with children, families and groups from Kauai to Honolulu

Families fly the Kauai to Honolulu route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Honolulu when you land

Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii on Oahu, home to Waikiki beach, Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor. The reasons travellers fly from Kauai to Honolulu include Polynesian Cultural Center, the North Shore surf beaches, Waimea Valley, Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head crater hike. For the first meal, try shave ice, malasadas and kalua pork and plate lunch.

We offer tours and transfers in Honolulu as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Kauai to Honolulu

Weather is warm year-round; December to March brings big North Shore surf and whale season, summer is drier and busy with families, and the H-1 and Nimitz Highway slow heavily from 6 to 9 am and 3 to 6 pm. On the flight from Kauai to Honolulu, 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 Honolulu to Kauai

The Honolulu to Kauai flight is the same route in reverse, about 40 minutes. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Kauai to Honolulu?

The cost of a flight from Kauai to Honolulu depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Kauai to Honolulu flight is often not the one at the top of a search.
