Could I make this connection?:
HA121 ITO-HNL (arr. 9:48)
UA879 HNL-NRT (dep. 10:28)
If HA can interline my bags, and the gates are close enough, it shouldn't be a problem. (although I don't know much about the typical weather delays, if any)
Hoping to avoid HA101 (6:41-7:30).
Thoughts?

It's a brisk 15 minute walk from the HA gates to the UA gates -- and that's knowing exactly where you're going. You could take the WikiWiki shuttle but it's going to end up being about the same amount of time.
Given the scarcity of seats right now due to AQ's and ATA's demise, I would not chance the connection you're proposing. You might find it's not easy to get another seat.

No way, not even if you sprinted.
Take HA101.
We should make it a sticky: if these 2 say it, believe it!
I'm simply going to echo what they said.
30 minutes from gate to gate is tight under any circumstances.
IIRC, UA only goes HNL-NRT once a day.
Do you really want to jeopardize your connection because you don't want to get up early?

Yes. You'll need a copy of your boarding passes/confirmation that shows your UA routing and e-ticket number.

No, say "no." HA will get your bags to UA.
It may not matter, but on the several occasions I've done this, I always say "no" when doing UA OLCI.

Connecting SYD-HNL(HA) to HNL-SFO(AA)
Hi
Great info, very helpful. Hoping to clarify a few 'minor points' for an international arrival into HNL on HA connecting to domestic AA flight.
I understand from the info in the thread I can get HA to interline my bags through to SFO on AA.
These two sectors are on two separate PNR's but I assume this is no issue for interline baggage, is that the case?
I will try to online check-on for the the AA HNL-SFO flight before I leave SYD.
Is is fair to say that the check in is 'independent' of any interline baggage thru-check by HA when I get to SYD? i.e. By checking in online for AA flight I won't inadvertently prevent the HA agent from checking bags through?
Obviously International arrivals will need to clear customs/immigration at HNL and collect bags. Is there an area to deposit bags for onward travel already tagged after this process? Similar to ITNL arrivals in SFO/LAX or do I have to go to AA check-in hall and queue up all over again?
Will have 2:45 between flights.
Thanks in advance...

I can answer this last question. Yes, there is an place within the Customs area to redeposit your bags. Once you get your bags and go through the final Customs/Immigration check, you can see it in the back corner on your left hand side. They will check them again for explosives residue and put them on a conveyor belt. Of course, they must have tags indicating that their final destination is not HNL.
You should have plenty of time to make your next flight, as long as you arrive on time. HNL is not a large airport and you can probably get between any two points in 15 minutes on foot.

Maybe I should add that you will need to clear security again after doing customs. So, you'll need a boarding pass to get through that as well as some patience. When I say that you can get from to any point at HNL within about 15 minutes walking, that's assuming no stopping for security checks and the like.
Can someone please clarify what is likely to be my interlining position.
I have booked all flights through AA on AA7935 (op by HA) OGG/HNL at 4.15pm 25th May to catch AA298 HNL/LAX at 9.20pm.
Do I gather that I will fall foul of the 4 hour rule and have to lug our luggage around HNL?
I have bought a day pass for the Admiral's Club and was looking forward to a relaxing few hours with the bonus of early morning showers at LAX Admiral's Club the next day.
Was wondering if anybody had any experiences doing an interline luggage transfer betwn Delta and HA. My itinerary:
- Arrive in HNL (from LAX) via Delta at 1105 on Fri 7/18
- Depart HNL (to LIH) via HA at 1220 on Fri 7/18
I plan to check my luggage all the way through at the LAX counter, but was curious if 75 minutes (assuming neither airline adjusts their times) is dicey. I know HA has a decent rep for being on-time; afaik, Delta's not-so-much.
I think I got this right but thought I would post to be sure. Due to Aloha going out of business, I have rebooked our original itinerary as an open jaw for the family OMA-OGG, HNL-OMA on United and a separate ticket on HA OGG-HNL. The HA flight arrives at 346 on 12/31 and the HNL-ORD flight leaves at 525. My questions:
1. HA in OGG should be able to interline all the way to OMA on UA. Correct?
2. On 12/31 we should check in with UA online in advance. Correct? If so what do we say when it asks if we will be checking bags? Yes, I assume, even though we will be checking the bags with HA in OGG?
United just changed the flight time to 515 so that gives me a 1:29 connect. Is this legal for interlining from a OGG-HNL to a HNL-ORD flight? Is it wise? Should I book an earlier flight OGG-HNL?
Flying Delta to HNL...check bags to LIH on Hawaiian???
We'll be flying into HNL in July on Delta. From everything I've seen/heard, DL will have no problem checking our bags all the way through to LIH, as long as I show them the itinerary when checking in. We'll be flying Hawaiian from HNL on the same day that we arrive into HNL. There will be about an 1.5 hours between mainland flight and inter-island flight. Some recent postings on TripAdvisor have me worried that Hawaiian will not get our checked bags to Lihue at the same time that we are getting there. I figure now that Hawaiian is a SkyTeam partner...it should be no problem....am I mistaken?
I think you need go to ticket counter but, DL agents will have your checked the bags with HA. Just show your flight itinerary from HA. If you flying into HNL but, the bags will be automatically to HA. You don't have need go to baggage claim after you landed in HNL. Once your bags will transferred your next flight from HNL. Thank you in advance to understanding where your bags will be automatically to your final destinations cities instead of HNL.

HA is not a part of Skyteam, nor has there been any announcement to that effect. HA has recently partnered with DL to provide reciprocal frequent flyer benefits but baggage interline agreements between the two carriers (a very separate thing from the former) have been in place for years now.
Just show anything with an Eticket number for your HA flight to the DL counter and they'll be able to check your bags through. 90 minutes is highly recommended; in fact for AA, it is the minimum time that they'll accept bags for interline checkin. There is of course no guarantee that the bags will make your HA-connecting flight. Too short a connection (which might occur if your inbound DL flight is delayed or late) might cause your bags to misconnect, in which case they'll be on the next flight to LIH. Too long a connection (which might occur if your DL flight gets in real early--but that's highly unlikely) might cause your bags to go on an earlier flight and you'll have your bags waiting for you at LIH. That's always a plus since you don't have to wait for them.
Most important of all, check the bag tags before the DL agents put your bag on the conveyor (or tell you to take it to the screening machine) to ensure that it's tagged to LIH and not to HNL.

Connection times HA to DL at HNL
I'm visiting Maui in December and wondered how long I should allow to connect from a HA flight from OGG to HNL to a DL mainland departure. There's a HA flight that arrives at HNL at 237 pm. Under ordinary circumstances will that allow sufficient time to connect to the 400 pm DL flight to ATL? There are earlier HA flights, of course, but they're already getting pricey for my departure date.

The official quote from HA is 1 hour if you want to interline your luggage.
I would check in for your DL flight online & print your BP's while on Maui so you can show them to HA GA's in OGG. That way your bags are tagged all the way, and you can leisurely walk from the interisland terminal to the DL gate inside the sterile side of the airport. Then just show your BP's and HA check bag receipts to the DL GA's and you are done.
The sterile side walk from interisland to the main terminal is 10-15 minutes depending on the location of the DL gate. There is a small x-ray machine as you leave interisland for agriculture inspection of your carry on.
