Maui - Flight Information

Kahului (airport code OGG) is by far the largest of three airports on the island. It is the only airport capable of handling trans-Pacific flights and there are several nonstop flight choices from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and additional cities, depending on the season. There are frequent interisland flights between Honolulu and Kahului that depart about every half hour on Aloha or Hawaiian Airlines. Aloha's affiliate, Island Air, also connects Kahului with Molokai three times daily. Pacific Wings (tel 248-7700 or 1-888/575-4546, www.pacificwings.com) operates one or two scheduled flights each day between Molokai and Kahului, while Paragon Air (tel 1-800/428-1231), an on-demand charter service, connects Molokai with any airport on Maui.

Kapalua (airport code JHM) in West Maui receives around eight Island Air flights from Honolulu each day. Consider a connection through Honolulu to this small airport if you want to arrive closer to the West Maui resorts of Kaanapali and Kapalua. Generally prices will run at about an $80 premium per traveler. 

Scheduled flights to and from Hana, the third, tiny airport, are currently only available on Pacific Wings, which operates three or four daily round-trip flights between Kahului and Hana, and also one or two nonstop flights between Honolulu and Hana.

Non-stop, direct or connecting flights to Honolulu with good connecting flights to Maui are available from all major and regional airports in North America. From cities on the West Coast, the flight time to Honolulu is approximately 4 ½ - 5 hours. From Chicago, non-stop flights to Honolulu are 8 hours, and from New York, non-stop flights to Honolulu are approximately 10 ½ hours.

During the past several years, more non-stop flights have become available to Hawaii's "Neighbor Islands" of Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii from cities along the West Coast. Inter-island flights to all Neighbor Islands depart regularly from Honolulu International Airport and flight times run just 20 - 35 minutes, making island hopping simple and convenient.
