We are in F and hope to have all our bags tagged "priority". So will I have enough time, 1 hr and 12 minutes to make this connection if I have to claim my bags and re check in w/ security for the inter airline flight. The next and last flight out to OGG leaves at 9:50. My original HA flight was suppose to leave at 8:26 but it got bumped up to 8:00. Any experiences or advice would be appreciated.
Not sure if bags will be checked through. I do know that your chances of your priority-tagged bags coming out (more) quickly than a non-tagged bag is low, but sometimes I am surprised.
You will be arriving at the interisland terminal at a time that is not very busy, but obviously, precheck would help. Are you in F on HA? If so, and no precheck, the F line is toward the left.
I would consider booking a later HA flight. Why start your Hawaii vacation stressing out over the connection. Have a Mai Tai and chill while you wait.
