Pre-check took 30 seconds. We were back at the gate for the next flight with 45 minutes to spare and I'm glad we took the detour. Even with a slightly worse security line and no pre-check, I think we would have been fine.
You can probably sneak a peak at the security line before you leave the secure area if time is tight.

In our many years of travel to HI, we have never had to make a direct same day connection from main terminal to interisland to catch a flight. And we have never flown HA mainland to HI. So, we're doing both soon - LAX-HNL-LIH and reverse on HA. (First trip to Kauai also in all these years)
It looks like a nice hike from EWA gates to Interisland. We have adequate layover time, but are going to be with a friend that has a bum knee right now. He's young, mobile, fit, and walking - just moving slower. Want to confirm that there is a moving walk way connecting EWA gates to Interisland? Thanks!

As an alternative, you can connect using the Wiki-Wiki bus.

Looking for advice on which flight to book for LIH > HNL to make JQ2 to MEL @ 9:00am.
HA104 arrives at 6:57am, HA110 arrives at 7:30am.
Carry on bags only, no TSA precheck.
From what I gather, walking from the interisland terminal to main terminal will be approx 10 mins, and check in for JQ2 closes 60 mins prior to departure. Should we play it safe with the HA104 or will we have enough time with HA110?

is this inter-island connection too tight?about 20 minutes!
I was originally booked on a direct Hawaiian Airlines flight from Kauai to Maui. Today HA emailed me a change. I'm now booked on #346 leaving Kauai @ 11:29 AM, arr. HNL @ 12:02 PM., and then on #176 leaving HNL at 12:23 PM. I also spoke with a HA rep, who told me that this is within their minimum connection time guideline. Should I trust that, or re-book?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Connection
It is more than likely that the onward flight is on the same plane.
The 20 minutes will allow for some folks to deplane, and some to board going to your final destination.
I wouldn't touch a thing. If in the unlikely event , you didn't make the connection.....HA will protect you and get you on the next flight without penalty.
Hawaiian Airlines runs a tight ship, and on-time performance is the best in the industry.

HA check baggage, United Club meeting, back to HA gate
A bit embarrassed by this question but still not sure if I should just walk or navigate the shuttles which I haven't used in years...
Have to check baggage curbside for HA 50, get to United Club gate 10 for meeting then return to HA gate ~ 26 - 30.
Would just hoof it but have 2 pieces of carry-on, any advice?
Mahalo!

So just wanted to get some feedback.
Flying into HNL from EWR set to arrive at 2:03pm on United on Sept 29th.
Connecting to a Hawaiian airlines flight that leaves at 4:37pm to OGG.
*when i booked i was arriving 1:59 and leaving 4:51. Not sure how much that ~15 mins lost will impact us.
These are on different PNRs and we will have checked baggage and are flying in BF on the United flight.
What is the process here? i assume we need to leave security to get our backs and recheck them? How am i on time here? Will ~2.5 hrs be enough time? Is there a way to check through to OGG or must we re-check it? Is there anyway to avoid leaving security? Any additional tips?
Thanks.

I just did this. UA interlined through HA to OGG without any issue.
HA refused to interline out of OGG even though I was on paid F on HA. They checked bags to HNL, which made me miss nonstop HNL-EWR return. Horrible experience, no aloha spirit.
