Flying with children, families and groups from Kauai to Maui

Three things to know about the flight from Kauai to Maui with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and typically a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Maui when you land

Ohe'o Gulch at Kipahulu, Ho'okipa Beach Park, Honolua Bay, whale watching from December to April and Haleakala summit and sunrise are what most passengers come to Maui for. Maui is Hawaii's second-largest island, known for the Road to Hana, Haleakala crater and the Kaanapali and Wailea resorts. Eat shave ice, banana bread from Hana roadside stands and tropical fruit and pineapple while you are there.

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

Best time to fly from Kauai to Maui

Pleasant all year; December to April is whale season and the busiest and most crowded time, April to May and September to October are quieter and drier, and summer is hot and family-heavy; traffic on Honoapiilani Highway is heaviest at the afternoon peak. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Kauai to Maui are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from Maui to Kauai

The Maui to Kauai flight is the same route in reverse, about 40 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides 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 Maui?

Flight prices from Kauai to Maui follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline 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 in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

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 Maui flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Kauai to Maui: how to pay less

A cheap Kauai to Maui flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we look up for you:

• 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 usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Kauai to Maui?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

How to book flights from Kauai to Maui with Haqqi Tours

Booking a flight from Kauai to Maui with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill in the short form on this page with the date you travel, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are flying and the class you prefer. Our booking desk then messages you by WhatsApp to check your booking: we confirm the flights available that day, the carrier, the baggage included and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.

• Step 1 - fill in the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Maui

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 Maui flight with a transfer from your accommodation to Lihue Airport (Kauai) (LIH) and a driver waiting at Kahului Airport (OGG).

Airlines flying from Kauai to Maui

On the flight from Kauai to Maui 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 Maui
• Southwest Airlines - Kauai to Maui

Departure: Lihue Airport (Kauai) (LIH)

Lihue Airport (Kauai) (LIH) is where the Kauai to Maui 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: Kahului Airport (OGG) and getting into Maui

You arrive at Kahului Airport (OGG). The county Maui Bus links Kahului with the main towns and resorts but is slow, makes transfers and has limited luggage space; a private car meets you at Kahului Airport and goes direct, about 45 minutes to Kaanapali and 25 to 30 minutes to Wailea. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Maui, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

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

Baggage, seats and classes on the Kauai to Maui flight

Before you compare the Kauai to Maui flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours arranges the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• 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
