Checking Luggage to Final Destination
 

I am traveling from Maui to Oahu on Hawiian Airlines, then from Oahu to Newark about 11 hours later on Continental. Anyone know if I can check my luggage straight through from Maui to Newark? Tickets were purchased separately.

If not, I will collect the bags in Oahu and check them on to the Continental flight, but is 11 hours prior to the flight too early?

Thanks.
