Wait even for a Honolulu layover and not leaving the airport? Also if I am leaving Honolulu at 6pm Local that Means you couldn't take 72 hour Test until 9pm Mountain Time 3 days prior. That's a pain.

My flight lands in Honolulu on O‘ahu but my final destination is one of the neighbor islands. Will I need to show my pre-test negative results QR code to airport personnel in Honolulu, or do this when I arrive on the neighbor island that is my final destination?
You will show your QR code to the airport screener upon arriving at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu. You will then be required to fill another Safe Travels Hawai‘i program application form that will apply to your trip from Honolulu to your final neighbor island destination airport. This would also be the process if you land on the island of Maui, Kaua‘i or the island of Hawai‘i first and transit to another island.

Yes, even for a layover (see below from the FAQ):

If you have a multicity flight itinerary, the departure time is from the last city you leave before arriving at a Hawai‘i airport (e.g. if your travel is from Chicago to Seattle to Honolulu, the departure time to look at is your flight from Seattle).

Japan Travel Bubble
FYI --Governor David Ige is planning to announce a new travel bubble with Hawaii and Japan that would allow Japanese guests to be exempt from quarantine by testing for COVID-19 in Japan prior to departure. The announcement will be made in a press conference at 1pm today local time / 7pm ET.

Looks like from that site though it would be 72 hours from Departure to Honolulu and not to Maui.

New Dates
Lanai is going to try to re-open to tourists on November 19.
The travel bubble from Japan to Hawaii starts November 6 for Japanese guests that test negative prior to departure.

Bubble suggests reciprocity - this is just one sided waiving quarantine with pretesting for nonstop flights. Japanese will still have to quarantine upon return to Japan and their border is still closed to others.

Have to wonder how many people will actually do this considering the quarantine on return (and can’t use public transit to get home). But first flight appears to be ANA flight 186 on 11/6. A 789, not an A380 of course...

Where are people looking for testing if your route is DEN-HNL?
CVS doesn't show any Colorado testing sites.
Walgreens has two locations with one test each day - and none are near my home.
I don't need results for two weeks, but I wanted to get up to speed with the process. And it seems like you can't schedule a test more than three days out.
Any tips?

Agreed. Hawaii’s process is a bit confusing. As I stated on a related topic, on my way out of OGG on Sunday night (10/25), I asked the screening team supervisor about this. She showed me the list of approved partners they were using, as of Sunday, and allowed me to photograph it. It’s posted below. Note that there are several approved facilities that are listed under various airlines, e.g., CareNow under AA, Sensiva under UA. While this list is dated prior to the list of partners above, it was in use as of 10/25.

All indications have been you can use any provider on the list. After all, CVS, for example, is not associated with any airline, but is clearly acceptable. CVS is close by to our house...we will be using them, and flying United.
