US Airways flights to Hawaii begin
US Airways Destinations US Airways now offers service to more than 230 destinations worldwide . Check out our latest additions:
* Lisbon, Portugal
* Stockholm, Sweden
* Milan, Italy
* Oahu, Hawaii
* Maui, Hawaii
* Kauai, Hawaii
* Hawaii's Big Island
US route map shows all 4 locations and shows Hilo specifically as a codeshare.
On-Time Arrival Performance
US Airways Inc. (US) - Honolulu, HI: Honolulu International - July 2006 - same link shows OGG, HNL, and KOA.
While the ORD, DEN, SFO and LAX flights in their schedule are certainly UA, I'd be very surprised if the HNL-PHX, OGG-PHX, OGG-LAS, LIH-PHX, or KOA-PHX flights to US hubs are on other metal.

I'm thinking about removing it altogether or perhaps dumbing it down to include only the carriers operating. Might be a little easier...

connection timing question
We are flying on Delta from LAX to HNL arriving at 11:30am. Will we be able to make a Hawaiian Air 12:30pm flight to Kauai? I assume our bags go straight through but I am not sure how far apart the terminals are.

You might want to take a look at this thread.....

An hour is less than I would be comfortable with. You will probably make it, but if there's any delay or you're in the back of the plane it could add time. You're about a 10-15 minute walk.
I'd say the chances though of your luggage making the transfer are 50/50. If not, it will come on the next flight. That happens alot here

And, ::mod hat on:: as common practice, I'll move this thread to the Hawaii State forum, where all questions regarding traveling within Hawaii belong.

Ditto all the above - we made a 33 minute connection in HNL - CO->HA (maui). Our bags didn't, but came on the next flight. HA said minimum bag connection time in HNL to HA is 1:30. HA said they'd deliver the bags, but it was only about a 40 minute wait - we got the rental car, came back & picked up the bags about 10 min later.

How about timimg going the other way? Is 45 minutes enough time to connect in HNL from an Island Air flight to an HA flight back to the mainland? Is that too big of a chance to take with Island Air, or are they fairly reliable?

I just added a new section entitled "(3) Tips for those departing out of HNL where HNL is the point of departure." If you have any suggestions or additions to this topic, please feel free to pass them along.

CNX Time and Interline Questions
I've never done a same-day inter-island connection, so I'd appreciate some help.
We're landing in HNL on UA at 12:46PM. Could we make a 2PM Aloha flight? I'm not sure if we're checking a bag or not - we may do all carry on. But if we do, UA at LAX can check it all the way through on Aloha as long as I have my ticket number, etc, correct?
Now the bigger question. For our return, we're departing HNL for ORD at 5:15PM. We're coming from LIH, this time on Hawaiian. I'm assuming a 3:46pm arrival time to HNL - 90 minutes prior to our UA flight's departure, is enough time. Is that correct? Since we're coming back on Hawaiian, can the HA agents in LIH check our bag all the way through for our UA flights to the mainland?
Thanks very much in advance for the input.

Connecting to a Mainland Flight from an Interisland Flight
There is a wealth of info for those connecting into Hawaii, but I could not find any information for those who will be flying into HNL via Aloha or Hawaiian Air, and then connecting to a mainland carrier, such as Continental, especially if the tickets are purchased separately (not on one itinerary). Can the luggage be checked to the final destination from the interisland carrier? It would be difficult to have to claim the bags at HNL, and then recheck them at HNL, as well as redoing the entire checkin process.
Hopfully, the process will be seamless, but it would be nice to know.
Thanks for all of the helpful info in the past.

To answer your question, yes the process is seamless, just repeat the process backwards. You will not have to reclaim bags in HNL, just have the luggage checked to your final destination.

You might consider seeing if one of the HNL clubs will secure your bags for you, if you have a membership/day pass w/one of those clubs.
