I'm flying PIT > DFW > LAS > HNL arriving at 6:10AM on Nov 03 on one ticket and connecting HNL > OGG at 7:41AM on a second ticket. Both tickets were booked though American Airlines AAdvantage Award website. Both LAS > HNL and HNL > OGG are on Hawaiian metal.
I will attempt to interline at PIT, but based on all the threads I've read, I don't think that'll be happening.
Assuming I have to collect luggage and recheck/rescreen, is 1h 31m enough time at 6-7AM? The next option bumps me up to 2h 18m, but if possible I'd like to keep the shorter one.
Thanks for any advice!

So just wanted to get some feedback.
Flying into HNL from EWR set to arrive at 2:03pm on United on Sept 29th.
Connecting to a Hawaiian airlines flight that leaves at 4:37pm to OGG.
*when i booked i was arriving 1:59 and leaving 4:51. Not sure how much that ~15 mins lost will impact us.
These are on different PNRs and we will have checked baggage and are flying in BF on the United flight.
What is the process here? i assume we need to leave security to get our backs and recheck them? How am i on time here? Will ~2.5 hrs be enough time? Is there a way to check through to OGG or must we re-check it? Is there anyway to avoid leaving security? Any additional tips?
Thanks.

The last time I did it we had to collect our luggage and drop it off again. To save some hassle, I went to baggage claim, checked the bag, and went thru security again. My husband stayed airside with all the other stuff we were carrying so I had nothing on me to put thru screening besides, well, me

If not, we have close to 3 hours in LAS so we'll be able to make something work there.
Thanks for your help

Palau to Houston Connection Question ~
(US Citizen) ROR > GUM > HNL > IAH
Where will I go through immigration and/or customs for this trip?
Does a 1 1/2 hr connection in HNL allow sufficient time for UA200 on a Thursday morning with 1 checked bag?
Any info will be appreciated. ~

HNL Connection time ok?
In checking my Delta account they have alerted me that I may miss my connect in HNL due to a schedule change. The only thing I can see changed from original booking is the HA flight number. I am arriving 3:50pm on a Saturday in HNL, connecting to a Hawaiian Air flight at 4:50 to Lihue. It seems ok to me, but should I go ahead proactively try to change to a flight 1/2 hour later? Advice?

Do you have bags to check? If so, are your reservations on the same PNR? If they are, an hour is enough time. From your post, it does appear you're on one PNR.
I think you'll be OK. But change if you will feel more comfortable.
My last trip I arrived early, wasn't on one PNR, and still made it from UA, rechecked my bags, and go to the interisland terminal in under an hour. I still had to sit there for another hour because I gave myself a cushion.

CAR RENTALS HONOLULU
Reminder.....
the HNL Airport is still undergoing the remodel for car rental pick up and return.
Allow some extra time, if you're going to be HNL eta Nov 2015 thru Feb 2016 allow both ends- pickup and return.

Hi, some advice please
I arrive into HNL at midday from LAX and then taking a flight at 2pm from HNL to PHX the same day (a mileage run) all with AA
Will I need to go through security when I land at HNL or can I go straight to the gate/lounge for my PHX flight? I will have just hand luggage

Will arrive HNL at 0250 by UA155, and connect to LAX at 0700 same morning (under the same ticket).
I shall be able to get boarding passes for both segments in GUM. However, the late arrival in HNL and AG inspection makes me wondering if I need to take my checkin luggage out to the landside, wait 5am to check in again; or I can just put my luggage back to the transfer belt and go to next gate. The timing is little bit weird, 2hrs transfer during midnight, no shops, no people...
And it seems HNL is closing their terminal overnight to prevent homeless people stay in, there will be small holding area for people who have valid itinerary to go in at night. Anyone have experience on that ?
Thanks!
