FAQs - booking Hawaii flights

  • Which terminal at Brisbane Airport will I fly to Hawaii from?

    Brisbane Airport (BNE) is conveniently divided into a domestic terminal and an international terminal. All flights to Hawaii departing from Brisbane will depart via the international terminal. If you are arriving in Brisbane from another city in Australia, you will need to transfer from the domestic terminal to international departures to take your flight. The two terminals are roughly 4 km apart but connected by a convenient bus service.

  • What visa do Australian citizens need to fly to Hawaii?

    Australia is one of the countries covered by the visa-waiver program to visit the USA. This means that you do not need a normal visa to visit Hawaii but you do need to have an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval. This is a visa-waiver authorisation that you can apply for online and is usually approved within 24 hours. The cost of the application is approximately A$ 30 and it is recommended that you carry a printed copy of your waiver to save time when going through passport control.

  • How can I transfer between the terminals at Honolulu Airport?

    It is possible to walk between Terminals 1 and 2, and this usually only takes around 15min; however, you cannot get to Terminal 3 on foot and will need to take the shuttle bus. The shuttle bus operates a ring service between all the terminals, so you can decide for yourself whether you prefer to walk or ride when transiting between Terminals 1 and 2.

  • Which airlines fly from Honolulu to other islands?

    There are a lot of domestic flights facilitating travel between Hawaii's islands, and most domestic American airlines and several regional airlines such as Hawaiian Airlines, offer regular flights around the islands. Many of these flight routes are served by light aircraft rather than the larger jets used for longer flights, and passengers should be prepared for this. Although the planes serving regional routes tend to be small, light and propeller-driven, they are quite safe and reasonably comfortable for short hops.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Brisbane to Hawaii?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Brisbane to Hawaii.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Brisbane to Hawaii?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from Brisbane to Hawaii is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Brisbane to Hawaii?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from Brisbane to Hawaii with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Brisbane to Hawaii?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from Brisbane to Hawaii up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Hawaii

  • Honolulu International Airport (HNL) is the main hub for international flights to Hawaii, and you can easily find regional flights from Honolulu to the major airports on the islands and even many of the smaller airstrips.
  • Hawaii consists of many islands. Although most international flights land in Honolulu, there are three other international airports, and you can find a number of alternative flight options if you would prefer to fly to one of the other international airports in Hawaii.
  • If you don't mind transiting through mainland USA or Canada, there are some very cheap flights to Hawaii available operated by North American budget carriers such as Hawaiian Airlines and Porter Air.
  • Although there are currently no direct flights from Brisbane to Hawaii, you can take American Airlines flights with a single stop in Los Angeles. This is not the fastest or cheapest option, however. Although there are more layovers, Japan Airlines (with layovers in Sydney and Tokyo) and New Zealand Airlines (with layovers in Auckland and Christchurch) can get you to Honolulu more quickly.
  • If you want to prioritise time, flying from Brisbane to Hawaii through the Philippines, Japan or Korea can be very convenient. These routes do not involve any backtracking or long detours and layovers are often no longer than 2-3 hours.

Poor food options for vegi folks n not enough food quantity. Fiji really needs to improve on it. Flight crew is very warm and respectful but don’t know how to cater towards vegi folks n items despite so many Indians staying in Fiji

I thought Fiji and Fiji Airways was great. Looking forward to the next trip. Baggage claim at the end went to sh...t

Left on time , arrived on time. Staff was awesome!!!!! Great flight!!!!

Great food, wonderful staff made a long flight seem short

We have had an absolutely horrific experience so far getting home from Australia on a $18,000 + flight we booked with you. The flight did not deplane in Dallas because there was no available gate or staircase. We sat in the plane for 3 hours waiting to deplane. As a result we missed our connecting flight to New York. American Airlines put us up in a hotel several miles away. We waited 45 minutes for a shuttle and The shuttle driver was horribly rude and unhelpful. They offered us $70 vouchers for food but actually there was no food left when we arrived minus some chicken nuggets and corn dogs. It was awful. Horrible way to end a vacation. There has to be accountability here.

A bit cramped in economy and the people in front wouldn’t put their seats up during meal service, crew did not help with that and I felt they could have done more about it.

The airline is ok, but it needs to improve it schedules.

In-flight entertainment options could use a refresh, Consider a tie-up with Spotify for more current music and with IMDB or other service for newer selections/movie ratings.

6 hour delay and they didnt try to make up any time during an over 10 hour flight

They charged me over a $1000 dollars to bring two surfboard bags as check baggage. Inappropriate and I would avoid flying sgain

Omg the disaster at the security was on another level! “Go to this end, sorry closed now, go to that end”. Ridiculous! This took over an hour! As far as the airline was concerned although I booked nearly a year ago I couldn’t get my bag tag - stand in another 15 minute line or my seat on Hawaiian Airlines- 5 more minutes! Then my TSA status was denied. Like what the heck! Makes a person not want to travel with this amount of incompetence

Fabulous if you have a portable wheelchair. They can store it in the galley and you can just walk out with it. Really nice and the flat seats are just incredible, very nice. iPads for movies, also pretty nice,

We flew first class, and it was worth every penny for that long flight. The crew was great, the service was terrific, and we were so very comfortable. It made the flight so much better. We will fly Hawaiian again!

Food and roominess were better on other international flights I’ve been on.

I like Hawaiian Airlines, however the flight was canceled, which we only discovered upon arriving at the Sydney airport where one, out of several monitors stated the flight was canceled. After finally making contact with a representative in the office in the building, because there were no individuals to talk to at their check in counter, we were informed the flight had definitely been canceled, though no reason why was given. The office staff person said we had been rebooked on a Qantas flight into Los Angeles and on a United Flight from Los Angeles to Seattle. We would not have known this unless I had found the office person in their office to inform us of the rebooking. We arrived in Los Angeles to discover the United flight originally scheduled to depart Los Angeles at 7P.M. was delayed and would not be departing until 9:25 P.M. Again, no reason was given for the changed departure time. We did not arrive home until 4 AM the next morning.

Vegetarian food options was okay taste-wise. We’re happy they are available but quality can certainly improve. Snacks were good!

The main thing I noted as mediocre was the flight crew, especially one of two women attendants, who seemed to wish she were not there, and I think there may have been some kind of problem going on, with a bit of conspiratorial smirks between two attendants, like something was wrong that they were annoyed with. I understand that it is a very difficult job to attend such a long flight, but I had really been anticipating an aloha attitude on Hawaiian and it wasn't there. The next leg of the journey from Hawaii to SFO was pretty bare-bones, only snacks available were for purchase. I can imagine that Hawaiian Air is an underfunded airlines, which I am sorry about, but I'm not sure that can excuse some of the experience. Thanks.

2 hour delay after plane was boarded…sat on the plane for 2 extra hours turned a 5 hr flight into a 7 hour flight

after a really long boarding process to a late plane, we then sat on the tarmac for an hour and 40 minutes. then they brought us back. deplaned, moved to another gate, moved back to the original gate. Replaned and left 5hours 30 minutes late. arrived at empty airport so there were no services at 3 in the am, bathrooms closed all over and no help with luggage. took 45 minutes for the only plane arriving at the time. The airline made no accomodations - I was charged for a full night of a hotel stay. we went past the 2am time line for the airport Embassy suites. lost the funds paid for the hotel and the rental car place charged an additional $57 for the car rental.

Flight crew made us feel they did not want to be there - the seats in Business are uncomfortable compared to other airlines and no inseat entertainment is not fun when you are kept waiting on the tarmac in both directions

I missed my flight due to unforeseen circumstances It was, however , an excellent price !

Very good overall. Highly recommend for all flying to Australia

Qantas is always subpar beyond comfy chairs for a domestic flight

Airline running better than post Covid, proper boarding process now implemented, some aircraft feeling a bit old and tired, crew fine, online experience better.

Inflight entertainment, poor that there are no headrest screens on aircraft used for an international flight.

Touch screens were very difficult to use, generally being laggy and unresponsive- it was quite an art to get it to play the thing you wanted rather than some thing at random. Selection of films and Tv was good when touchscreen decided to finally respond.

Their aircraft are old and amenities lack way behind other international carriers leaving from BNE. Even in economy

The old Plane had not been cleaned properly in a long time.

Top notch service, good selection of snack and meal options, generous accommodation for luggage, and great selection of in cabin entertainment. I really appreciate the offering of pillows, blankets, sleep mask, tb&paste, and earplugs. The only complaint I can make was that my seat was horribly uncomfortable and lacked cushion.

An extremely long flight packed in like sardines. But they feed you often with meals,drinks and snacks. They have a lot of movies and audio books

Flight stewards were sometimes short when passengers made requests at the same time. The requests were simple but a smile & a remark of "I'll get to you soon" instead of a curt & passing "Wait a minute." Flying is not cheap & good manners should be a given when taking care of people cramped in seats for longer than ten hours. The food tasted great but doesn't look appetizing. The mid-meal break food or merienda were great in the last two flights I was on.

It was amazing with great service. But the seating could have been better if there was ample arm rest areas

Flight attendants did very well, they were all friendly and very helpful .

Absolutely terrible. I will never fly that airline again. The problem was with the constant emails changing my seats, arrival/ departure times and the aircraft. The staff at the airports and onboard were great. Between making the appointment in May 2025 and my actual trip I had over 50 emails announcing changes. I was traveling with 3 other couples and they experienced the same thing.

Excellent! All flight related was memorable ! My first experience with Mabuhay Lounge,,, not so good

Crew excellent calling me by name ! Only downside was no inflight WiFi

Not a pleasant experience from the start of booking first flight all the way through to the actually flight. Only saving grace is the food.

Checking in was okay but boarding a little bit slow

My biggest concern was with all the schedule changes. Both inbound and outbound flights times were changed, including a time change less than two days before the scheduled departure.

The check in crew is rude. They are strict in luggage. How about you buy something in duty free and then they tell you to remove some of your stuff you’re ending up throwing everything. The crew are nice. But the seat is really hard it’s not comfortable in long flight. I’m not planning again to book a flight in Philippines airlines it could been better if you trained your check in crew to be compassionate and nice. I travel a lot in emirates qatar but never experienced anything like that.

The plane was comfortable but the crew wasn’t friendly.

I was traveling alone abroad for the first time and the staff was not helpful and rude at times.

Flight pulled out on time but sat on runway for 30 mins. It was extremely cold in the aircraft despite wearing a winter coat. Surprisingly they had a vegetarian meal but could have some better snack choices for a 8 hour flight.

The flight attendants as well as the gate agent were out to lunch. Nothing extraordinary about their service. American just keeps getting worse every year.

For a 5 1/2 hour flite i considered the "business class" to be subpar. The seats were just ok, no amenities, really nothing more than a long domestic flight. Frankly disappointed.

More choices on snacks. Built-in video screen to enjoy entertainment choices.

Almost a 6 hour flight and the only food option is a cheese plate… and chips. Also how is it there are no options for texting on American. I’ll be going back to delta and united.

Angela was the best fa ever. She made that 8 hour flight a breeze

Crew were attentive and friendly. Flight was smooth and early! I enjoyed the less crowded plane. Thank you!

Being back games on the in-flight entertainment. Also your flight attendants need a break, raise, or overall attitude adjustment.
