Is an hour enough time to transfer in Honolulu from Maui to San Francisco? I am on the 7:55AM United flight to San Francisco and could in theory take the Hawaiian flight from Maui which arrives in Honolulu at 6:49AM. Otherwise Ill have to fly to Honolulu the day before and get a hotel.
If you only have carry on, you can probably make it if everything runs smoothly. But it will be a race against time.

My parents will be travelling from DFW to HNL on AA and then I will need to get them on connection to Maui same day. They will not have any checked luggage, just carry on. Just want to confirm they will not need to go through security and can go from their gate to the interisland gate. They land at 1:57 PM HNL time. My choices are 2:40, 3:31 or 4:11pm. I was thinking the latter two times should work.
I am booking ticket through AA award travel from DFW to HNL but do not have enough miles to book the HNL-OGG on one ticket. I plan to likely purchase HNL-OGG ticket on Hawaiian airlines website. I think this will be fine since no checked luggage. Does this sound like a good plan? Thanks

What time you book for the OGG flight depends on everyone's risk tolerance. Flight can be late. The 4:00 hour is high traffic with commuters, so if you want that flight, now would be a good time to grab the seats.

I have a flight booked on Delta from NRT, scheduled to arrive at 7:33 AM. I will be in seat 1A, will not have checked luggage, and have Global Entry. Delta's website shows the 9:43 AM HA flight to KOA as a connection, with an alternate of HA's 10:24 AM flight. Other than a possible delay on the DL flight, is the 9:43 AM HA flight going to present any problem to make the connection?

You're probably right, but I would like to get home as soon as possible after the red-eye flight from NRT and not have to sit around in the inter-island terminal if the DL flight is on time. At least I know now that the connection is doable if the DL flight is not delayed.

January, we land 5:35 a and take off 10:40 P - around 17 hour connection (incoming HA PPT-HNL, AA HNL-PHX-MSP). Any advice? I'm guessing we may not be able to check our luggage in for the flight so we might have to do some form of luggage storage? Any advice for part of a day in HNL?

OGG suggestion？
Hi! I have a flight from HNL to OGG at 6pm, arriving OGG 6:40pm. My next flight is Delta OGG-LAX at 8:55pm. No checked bags. Will 2 hours be enough? I guess I just need to walk from Gate 17 to Gate 35 at OGG airside?
