FAQs - booking Hawaii flights

  • What visa do Australians need to fly to Hawaii?

    Australians planning on staying in Hawaii for 90 days or less generally do not need a visa. However, you will need to obtain an electronic visa waiver before departure. Also known as an ESTA, this can be applied for online. Since it’s valid for up to five years, it’s worth applying well before your departure dates, to ensure it is approved in time. You’ll also need a passport with blank visa pages and validity for at least six months from your travel dates. For a smooth experience at immigration, bring proof of your accommodation and your ticket out of the US.

  • Which Hawaiian airport is close to Haleakala National Park?

    If the volcano and hiking trails of Haleakala National Park are on your itinerary, you’ll need to head to Maui, which is serviced by Kahului Airport (OGG). You’ll find plenty of flights from Melbourne to Maui with carriers like United Airlines and American Airlines. Flights with United generally come with a stop in San Francisco (SFO), while flights with American Airlines generally stop in Los Angeles (LAX).

  • Which Hawaiian island should I fly to first?

    For a faster and more cost-effective trip from Melbourne to Hawaii, it’s generally worth flying in and out of Honolulu. You can then book internal flights, ferries, boat rides or even helicopters to get to the other Hawaiian islands you wish to visit. Qantas, Jetstar and American Airlines all offer excellent flight deals from Melbourne to Honolulu, with either direct flights or a quick stop in Sydney (SYD) along the way.

  • Which airport should I fly into if I’m going to Kauai?

    Kauai is serviced by Lihue Airport (LIH). While you will find flights from Melbourne to Lihue with airlines like United and American Airlines, these generally come with a stop in Los Angeles or San Francisco along the way. This adds significantly to the overall transit time. So, if shorter flight times are important to you, it may be better to fly to Honolulu first and then take a domestic flight to Kauai.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) 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 Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to Hawaii.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to Hawaii?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) 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 Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) 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 Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) 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 Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) 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 Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) 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

  • Melbourne has two airports – Tullamarine (MEL) and Avalon (AVV). While Avalon does offer some international flights, there aren’t any routes to Hawaii from Avalon. So, regardless of which Hawaiian city you visit first, you will likely need to head to Melbourne Tullamarine Airport for your flight.
  • If direct flights are important to you, it may be best to start your Hawaiian adventure in the capital of Honolulu. Jetstar offers direct flights from Melbourne to Honolulu that generally come with a 10-12 hour transit time.
  • You’ll find four terminals at Melbourne Airport, and since they’re quite spread out, it’s important to double-check your ticket to ensure you’re dropped off at the correct one. Flights to Hawaii generally depart from Terminal 2, so this is likely where you will need to go.
  • If you’d like to freshen up before your flight to Hawaii, you’ll find free shower facilities in the departures lounge of Terminal 2, just after the duty-free section.
  • If you need somewhere to relax and gather your thoughts after your flight from Melbourne to Honolulu, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) features a number of cultural gardens. The C. B. Lansing Garden is convenient for arriving passengers; it can be found on the ground floor of Terminal 1.

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.

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

Staff was very helpful, polite, efficient. Food was excellent. Business class seat very comfortable.

The business class seat was not very comfortable . Fortunately it was a short flight

Time to upgrade those planes so you can provide first class.

The flight was smooth and on time. Entertainment options were lacking and there was no food, other than some very boring snacks.

A better selection of entertainment would have been nice. I found nothing that appealed to me as a middle-aged traveler. The flight attendants were gracious, helpful, and attentive. It also would have been nice to have more bathrooms as the flight was full and the plane was big.

This flight was the second leg of a trip that began in Auckland, New Zealand. I was unable to find a way to select seats in advance. The boarding passes we were given in Auckland did not have seat assignments for the second flight. There was no way to check on it until personnel showed up at the gate in Los Angeles, immediately before boarding time. The flight was overbooked by one, and since I was traveling with my sister, we needed two seats. We waited in considerable anxiety for everyone else to board and when one person did not show up, we had to take whatever was left. At least we finally got on the flight although we were the very last to board. We were not able to sit together, of course.

The Premium Economy seats were very comfortable and the food was quite tasty. I did not use the entertainment system, but I was able to charge my phone and tablet with the seatback connection.

We had difficulty checking in as United didn’t recognize the confirmation number and the agent was not helpful. We went to the United Assistance desk where the agent was able to process our reservation. We also weren’t allowed to choose seats in advance.

Great entertainment options on the screen. uSB A and C chargers. Free WiFi! Crew were excellent.

The issue was with getting our boarding pases. There were issues with our arrangements that were made through Kayak. I am sorry to say that we will not use you again because of this. The flight itself was good and the flight attendants excellent.

Couldn’t request a vegan meal somehow but I noticed other people getting them

Boarding instructions on one leg of my journey were not well communicated at the gate (Melbourne to Auckland)

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

Loved the food and beverages available, spacious economy class, excellent entertainment

Helpful staff when I felt unwell. Qantas need to have an audio/music channel so you can listen to various music/.artists

Hard to move and get out of my seat when the passenger in front is in recline position.

Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.

We were upgraded and after just a short delay in attending to a safety check we were on our way. Would definately fly Qantas International on their Dreamliner again.

Good communication regarding any updates time of flight and flight delayed. The fight was delayed by two and half hours at eleventh hour. That was unexpected, especially when you international passenger.

Don't irreparably damage my luggage, don't stand around talking in the kitchen area of the plane when a passenger is waiting to speak to you, don't run out of a meal selection so have me end up eating bread for dinner. Lastly, regarding the code-share flight from DFW to JFK....STOP PARTNERING WITH AMERICAN AIRLINES - THEY ARE THE WORST AIRLINE IN THE WORLD! The delay, followed by another delay, followed by disorganized boarding, followed by stale snacks fit for a rodent, followed by a pilot who literally slammed the plane onto the runway when landing causing quite some concern among the passengers.

I was thrilled with the bottle of water, blanket, pillow, earphones, and little packet of toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs. I was very satisfied with the meals and snacks and drinks. I alao was very grateful to have a seat that backs up against the lavatory, as it made it very easy to get to the bathroom without being jumped in line, as so often happens in the airplane. Of course that was just a random strike of luck, but it really made a difference.

I was pleasantly surprised with my flight to LA with Qantas. Although seats were not the roomies, service was excellent.

Wonderful crew, good food. Absolutely loved the wine spritz and wish I could buy it!

Knees in back from passenger behind, limited seat pockets, no entertainment.

The Ryanair of Australia. Not impressed. Forced me to gate check my bag as it was over their weight limit. Charged me $125 for the privilege. Then said plane hold was locked and it would have to go out in the next flight, which was the following day. Explained that I was on a cruise the next day and the plane would not arrive until after the ship left, and that it would be impossible to catch up with the cruise at any point. Lady at the gate unimpressed. So to sum up they were ready to charge me $125 to lose a bag. Finally got it resolved by appealing to management, but the whole episode was not good for the blood pressure. The gate lady said they followed the Ryanair business model which means first time passengers get penalized for doing things that other airlines routinely allow.

Flight was delayed both directions but once in the air was ok. Boarding out of Melbourne is just a mess.

Delayed twice. Poor communication and people made to change gates too often.

Late leaving and desintuon board showed ‘gate closed’ when they hadn’t even commenced boarding!

It was better than I expected. Thought $5 for a small cup of tea was a bit much!

Not very good, no food and not drink ( caffe or tea). Never ever fly with jet star.

Fabulous I have no issues with JetStar great service always use them to fly

No food taken so can't rate also no entertainment so can't rate.

I was allocated an exit row seat and was told to move so it could be given away to someone who had purchased two extra legroom seats and one regular seat but wanted the three to sit together. I was also charged for entertainment after booking but before checking in, and the ground crew couldn't do anything about refunding it. When the whole plane was given access to the entertainment as an apology for the flight being four hours late, I was told they couldn't do anything about that either, so I was charged for something I didn't want even though it would have been free anyway
