Inter-line--Short Connection Question
Hi,
I'm returning to the mainland from HNL-LAX on an 8am flight on Delta. I'll be on Maui that morning and was going to take the 6:00am on GO or 6:09am on Hawaiian.
1) Do I have enough time?
2) Will I have to claim my bag (the inter-island flight isn't not part of my Delta ticket)
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

It's a tight tight tight connection - regardless of who you fly. You'd be better off spending a night in HNL.

Technically - per the new HA policy - you will need to claim your bag in HNL and walk it to the overseas terminal. If you want reliability I'd take the HA flight over the Go flight.

Can you just carry on bags? There's been spotty enforcement of the no interline rule, but you won't know unless you get to OGG. The alternative as mentioned above is to overnight in HNL or spent an extra full day and change the Delta segment to the redeye that leaves OGG that night (or the night before).
First flights of the day have less of a chance for delays but I certainly wouldn't try go! with a 2 hour connection even with a 2 hr connection. You never know if one of its planes are down for mx, causing schedule delays throughout the system.
