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.

See previous comments. Didn’t take this flight because my other flight was so delayed. Ending up on two other flights as a result and was more than a day late.

See previous comments. Didn’t take this flight because my other flight was so delayed. Ending up on two other flights as a result and was more than a day late.

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

Very good; seat made ready for bed after meal, a plus since one airline covered the seat at the start.

Entertainment was not good. Seems like liquor should’ve been advertised only beer and wine was even though I saw others getting liquor didn’t realize I could. And the food to me could’ve been a little bit.

Food choices perhaps not the best. Only offered beer and wine, when it appeared other liquor was available. Entertainment wasn’t so good.

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

The experience on Fiji Airways was absolutely amazing. Streamlined. All staff was amazing. Pleasant. Friendly. Extremely helpful.

Business class Seats on the A350 from Nan to YVR were wonderful. The flight crew was okay but could do with better training. Toilets were clean but ran out of paper towels towards the end of the flight. The food/menu and the wine offered really needs considerable improvement. Dinner options were either Bolani, a beef sandwich (even this could be made much better), or paneer butter masala. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan of Fijian food, there isn’t much choice. Dessert was either turmeric ice cream or fruits but unfortunately, they were out of fruit! So the only option was turmeric ice cream. I’m not certain how many passengers like turmeric but I am not one of them. They need to cater to a more diverse group of people. Perhaps they need a new chef? The movies& tv shows were mostly older so I didn’t find that interesting either. It was however, fun to view the plane’s exterior cameras as we take off and land. The best thing about this flight are the business class seats.

Comfortable as one can get in Economy, food was very good, staff were super friendly & efficient.

Really liked the plane and business class seat. Food was ok but could be better. Service was very good.

They cancelled our flight and one after and then crammed everyone on a late flight. Refused to give us a meal voucher because the delay was less than 3 hours. In the end the delay was 4 hours. No reason was ever given for the cancelled flights. Fly Southwest!

The temperature on the plane was too cold and the food was not very good. Everything else was good.

There was mention of a complimentary magazine but none were in the seat pockets. The flight is short so understandable not having food or a snack.

Flight delayed. Then left much later than new time. 88 year old dad waiting at Kona airport for ages.

This is my first time flying Hawaiian. It was so disorganized and poorly coordinated, resulting in the most unacceptable delay

It’s really tough when you purchase tickets and you are unable to purchase your seats, and just get random seats when you are traveling with someone.

The flight from HON to Hilo caused a few problems, but we were helped by the checking agent at Hawaiian Airlines with tech assistance. My wife & I are in our 70's and not QR code savvy. But we are learning.

We had lie flat seats, which are nice to have for overnight flights. Economy was almost empty, so many there had entire rows to themselves

The service was great and the crew was so friendly and attentive!

Flight attendants were friendlier than on previous flight from HNL-BOS

It was good for a short domestic flight. As no food ar entertainment provided, there should be a n/a rating available for those.

USB charging ports did not work on any of Air New Zealand flights

Economy was much nicer on the Air New Zealand planes.

At Coolangatta International it is difficult to hear voice boarding announcements when away from screen announcements.

Flew premium economy, well worth the extra. Much better seat size & space. Meals & snacks were lovely. Crew really pleasant. Internet is not great, not really useful for anything. Couldn't even send messages.

Everything was fine. Wish the wifi was free and included in the ticket price.

Nothing special short flight - all good - difference between 1 fudge and 2 fudge is obligation and thankfulness

The flight we had booked was cancelled due to bad weather conditions, but we were lucky to arrive at the airport quite early and got a seat on an earlier flight. The flight was mostly nice, but there were some hefty turbulences towards Queenstown. One of the passengers behaved hysterically. It would have been great if the crew had done something to calm her.

Sitting in an aisle seat equals getting hit by food cart and spilled on multiple times Food: gross and minimalistic Crew: frumpy and kurt Sound on multiple entertainment platforms poor Not an earplug problem, system soundboard poor

Major hassle with the weight of carryon luggage Having to repack bags at airport Not an issue in most of world Ridiculous issue considering the 400 pound gentleman sitting behind us

Friendly staff, surprisingly good premium economy seats allowing good sleep/ snooze opportunity and very good menu.

Very good as always, stand out airline. The passengers whom choose to stuff baggage that otherwise should be checked-in is a real bother but that's not the airlines doing. A real frustration that passengers just don't want to check-in luggage. This is a pet hate unfortunately.

It’s a two prop flight so I had problems with my ears on re- entering ! But otherwise fine

I love flying with Qantas. There was no onscreen entertaining on this flight, and only a snack provided (not a meal) but still better than Jetstar or Virgin (in my opinion) so still happy.

Complaint is with American Airlines which delayed our flight from salt lake to Dallas reaulting in us missing our connection to Brisbane. Had to spend 24 hours in Dallas to wait for the next flight. Awful experience and ruined my wife’s birthday.

Wheelchair assistance to move through the terminals and to/from the plane door was excellent. No vegan snack on the flight, only something with salami and cheese in it.

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

Planes was old - business class seats looked like they were installed in the 80s

Our baggage didn’t arrive with us on the plane. Need I say more?

I got upgraded from economy to business, and the experience was outstanding

Overall, it was good. The only concern was that I couldn't charge my phone because the USB port didn't work after we took off. One of the crew members tried to restart it but never came back to me with an update.

Comfortable seats, boarding was easy and staff were very nice.

Flight was fine but a domestic flight was called by Jetstar international. This meant going through immigration and custom scanning twice. Long queues were experienced which were frustrating. We were using a wheelchair and exit at Perth needed a scissor lift as no air bridge provided. No fast lane at Perth for wheelchair. The staff were helpful but this system is poor.

The crew were great. The seat was older than an old Holden with a big metal bar sticking right into my back. The passenger next to me complained that hers was the same. The pre purchase system for food was disappointing as the pie/quiche took 20 mins to warm up, arrived too hot and with no utensils. It was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've ever been on.

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

Flight was as expected - we got what we paid for which was a base fare

Hardly we had overweight and we were asked to pay $75. We were checked by a female and weight was alright

Unaware of charge for carry on until i got to gate

I got what I paid for - flight was clean, staff were friendly
