You should also factor in airport wait times and possible equipment or weather delays. If you're trying to figure out what time you'll arrive at the destination, you may want to see if there's a time difference between United States and Hawaii. The flight time calculator measures the average flight duration between points. It uses the great circle formula to compute the travel mileage.
I will not fly on this airline again. Pros: "Very courteous. On time. Basically no entertainment for a long flight. Cons: "We purchased tickets to Maui months in advance. We chose our seats. The morning before our flight we printed boarding passes and paid for check bags.
That night, approximately 12 hours before take off I received a notice from Google stating the flight hand been cancelled. To this day I have never received any communication from the airline stating the flight was cancelled. I called Hawaiian and asked about the cancellation. After waiting for the customer service person to find out what the status was, she simply said there was scheduling issues. The best she could offer was a flight the next day. We lost a whole day of our vacation and lost a significant mount of money.
Hawaiian offered no compensation and did not seem at all apologetic for canceling an entire flight at the last minute for "scheduling issues. They clearly do not value their customers. Pros: "Friendly, efficient, professional service.
Super smooth flight and great service. Pros: "Crews were helpful and polite. Pros: "When entered the airplane I was warmly greeted. Flight attendant even offered to help put my bag up above" Cons: "I needed some medicine up above in my carryon.
I asked an attendant while we were still at the terminal but doing announcements and was told I could get it if I did it quickly When I stood up I was told to take my seat sharply by another. Later when no one was in the galley I poured some water from a bottle sitting there into a cup to drink. The attendant who came by in a raised rude tone told me to go sit down and grabbed the water from my.
Cons: "I was annoyed with the fact that everything cost money. The women next to me asked for water and the flight attendant said that she could pay for it or wait for breakfast. I was also not happy that almost all the movies with the exception of three about the sea had to be purchased.
Most planes now have at least an app with movies on it for free, especially on 6 hour flights. Cons: "no on onboard at-seat refreshment service, meals were inadequqte to be called meals, seating legroom poor. Unlikely I would reserve HawIian in future.
Pros: "So so happy I got the upgrade to 1st class! The seats were comfy, the flight attendants were so kind and the food and beverages were delicious. Pros: "Everything was greT. Great service and updates from pilot were done as well. Comfortable and roomy! Loved it! Pros: "Staff was pleasant" Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable, food was marginal as with most airline food.
Pros: "Everything was great! No complaints. Props to the advertising department! Pros: "Fab crew. Plane was clean. Overall extremely positive experience" Cons: "Menu could be a little more diverse.
Pros: "Food was yummie" Cons: "More leg room would be nice". Pros: "I like the professionalism of your crew, having meal, the comfortable seats, and the comp drink" Cons: "I'm wondering about putting parents and small children together. Many crying babies aboard. Pros: "The crew was nice. Liked having a meal. No air above my seat. Got really warm". Pros: "Two male attendees, tried to help. Female supervisor rude and turned us down no problem.
My mom and I missed our flight by 4min!! I'm suppose to photograph my friends wedding tomorrow which I'm going to miss his ceremony AND my mom lost one day of work which is a huge deal and ONE day of being in Hawaii out of the four days we planned.
I got it as a gift for her, and now were both in our apartment in orange doing nothing, when we are suppose to be arriving to hawai for the first time ever. So upset, and sad and bummed. What a let down. I was on your site for over an hour checking all the guidelines about bags, carry ons, where we need to be and i didn't check in time at all.
I just can believe this, a hotel room paid will be empty, and well be here waiting until tomorrow so we could repeat the same thing this morning. Pros: "Let me think, food was free.
Some of the staff was friendly. Glad was the flight was quick, because I don't think I could deal with that staff anymore than the few interactions I had with them. Its not organized and just a huge mess. This zone boarding thing is very old school and no where is there a screen saying which zone is boarding, you have to listen for the quiet announcement and hope you heard it correctly, because they only say it once.
When on board, the staff I dealt with was having a bad day or something, because slamming drinks down on tray tables and cups in to a half full cup must be the norm.
The passenger next to me mentioned that the staff was very rude to me, as I was pretty passive at the time. The seats are somewhat comfortable, but when the staff tells you not to lean back because the lady behind you doesn't have enough leg room, then whats the point of paying for comfort plus.
The food may be free, but if you want some sort of entertainment, TV shows or movies, it isn't free. Everything must be paid for on this flight. You pay a pretty penny to get on these flights only for them to up-sell you on everything! This airline needs some major changes to staff and technology.
Cons: "Every time the flight attendant walk by there was a strange odor, maybe onions. When they past out some bags of Hawaiian potato chips, the bag had that odor and we then thought it must be the chips and from her being around them.
We decided not to eat them and carried then off in our carry on baggage The next day I was hungry and decided to eat a bag.
The odor was gone and the chips didn't smell at all Turns out it was the flight attendant. Maybe the type of food she consumes or her clothes were around a lot of garlic and onions Hope she is not on our return flight". Cons: "When I asked for a blanket because the cabin was so cold they asked me for Pros: "One of the few airlines that provides a meal. Pretty sweet. Pros: "Our flight crew on our side were nice and friendly. Very efficient with passing our drinks and food.
Boarding was quick. Overall, it was a comfortable and smooth flight. Biscuit only had cheese in it-not even bacon or sausage or for that matter, spam. It is Hawaiian Airlines afterall no more free leis after you get off the plane either. I appreciated the individual movie screens but my touch screen kept freezing and I couldn't make a selection.
Pros: "Crew was very polite cabin was very clean" Cons: "Seats are too small, no leg room. Breakfast sandwich, although complimentary wasn't very good. To get a blanket or pillow you had to purchase them. Pros: "They got us to our destination safely. Which , of course is the most important thing. Got us there on time as well. Did not use in flight entertainment so cannot rate.
Only difference I Can tell is that it has more padding. Foot rest is unbelievably unfunctional. Food was good but no wine or refill of the other beverages was offered with the meal. Flight crew as polite, but wooden and unengaging. Baggage claim at destination was efficient. I only fly with this airline , and in first class, because I have sooooo many miles.. Who knows , maybe they would not be any better. Cons: "We boarded a hot plane. We de-boarded and sat - the gate crew were fine but really didn't know what was going on.
The emails actually gave us new departure times that had already passed! Thanks to some terrific work by the HAL gate crew, we were able to get seats on an Alaska flight. Pros: "Hawaiian granted me an isle seat hat I requested after purchasing the ticket. I also appreciated the meal that was provided at no cost. I'm Pros: "The crew" Cons: "There were no free movies on a flight that Lateef over 5 hours. That's ridiculous. Pros: "Hawaiian Air gives free meals and complimentary wine!
Great service from ticket agent. Pros: "Experience was great! Crew went above and beyond and we're all very warm and accommodating! The meal and complementary cocktail were a wonderful surprise!! Pros: "Nice touch with breakfast crew was very pleasant. The touch screen was hard to control and frustrating". Pros: "The complimentary breakfast and complimentary island rum drink just before landing were a pleasant and very welcomed surprise.
It was, overall, a great flight. Purchasing the extra leg room and pre TSA screening is a must! I know it can't be helped but jeeeez! I had little tykes at one time but now that they are grown, it's difficult to maintain patience for five hours.
Too bad a "child zone" area at the back of the plane couldn't be designated for the weary parents. Perhaps have certain rows just for families with small children where they don't have to be so worried about bothering other passengers.
Maybe an area where babies could be "walked and rocked". Probably not feasible but just a thought for an airline that services the whole spectrum of age groups heading to Paradise. Pros: "It was easy. Cons: "Unfriendly stewards. Not one of them offered service with a smile". Fortunately the staff were accommodating and allowed us to check our bags even after the deadline had passed -- but it was definitely an extremely stressful experience! On the way back, we flew First Class on a Delta Airlines owned jet, and the experience was so much better.
The flights should have been comparable; but unfortunately cost-cutting by Sky West was evident. We went through security and had to take a 15 min shuttle to a different terminal. Why not just go through security there? There were also no attendants at the gate to discuss seat assignments. Try on board crew was great, but the airport experience was lacking. Pros: "Crew" Cons: "More arm space and leg room for cabin". Cons: "The check in process for Delta was a chaotic mess.
There was no one to assist passengers, lines were crazy long. I overheard so many people complaining about missing flights and they could not get any help. I also think the amount Delta charges for luggage was insane.
Pros: "The crew. Pros: "The crew did a good job in announcing the arrival of the flight and where we are at and how far we are flying overall did an excellent job" Cons: "If they had orange juice lol". Pros: "Crew was great! COVID precautions with distancing on board were not followed. Flight was overcrowded- hardly any empty seats between passengers. Pros: "Social distancing, purell wipes were handed out, food and water handed out in a baggy. I love delta. Pros: "Loved it all.
Thanks for helping me get home to Australia when other airlines couldn't. Pros: "crew was exceptionally kind and helpful. I felt they really cleaned up, sanitized, even participated sanitary clothes and hand sanitizer to everyone. Pros: "Delta is the airline to fly if you have to fly like I did during a pandemic. They made sure at every turn we felt as safe as possible. They had passengers distanced from each other the whole time, handed out sanitizing wipes as we walked on the plane, made sure folks kept their masks on, gave us individual little baggies with snacks and water bottles that also had individual hand sanitizer packets.
Pros: "Entertainment" Cons: "Flight wasn't full. I could have been seated somewhere else since passenger next to me was quite large and invading my personal space". Pros: "crew found me an outlet for laptop" Cons: "nothing". Pros: "Appreciated stewardess comping wine because my husband and I couldn't sit together" Cons: "Don't assume you will get a good fare just because you book 2.
Pros: "The staff was friendly and helpful" Cons: "Outlets to charge my electronic devices for the long flight". Cons: "The boarding process at LAX was awful.
It was confusing and annoying. Pros: "One of the flight attendants was nice. Had to wait forever for soda. Smooth flight, early arrival, good coffee, variety of drinks, entertainment system worked very well and fast. Food was good but need more snack for a long haul flight.
Needed more drink offers between meals. Pros: "We boarded close to on time, no hassles. Allowed my husband and me retired military to board early, thank you.
Had to remove shoes, was scanned and "frisked" by TSA to get to Denver. Where's the uniformity or standards for TSA?? Why did I have to be subjected to this garbage on the way home??
This is why I despise flying. It makes no sense to me. This ruined what was a great vacation. Pros: "Great entertainment options and food selection, just wish they had the selection they advertised Got to the airport, app had already pre-checked us in and my seat selection was changed!
Will be calling Delta when we get home. Pros: "Wonderful service. Staff was attentive and helpful. Flight was great. I got to watch a couple movies and was able to retrieve my oversized luggage easily and even quickly. Thank you, Delta! Then, my flight was delayed an hour. Pros: "Crew and flight" Cons: "Price for food and number of bathroom available". Pros: "The flight was nearly full, but I lucked out.
One person in my row did not show up, so myself and the other lady in my row had the benefit of having an open seat in between us. The crew was cheerful and accommodating. They did the normal beverage service, but also brought complimentary water and coffee 3x during the rest of the flight. This was greatly appreciated, especially after 5 days of drinking and partying.
My buddies and I spent two and a half days in Las Vegas for a bachelor party followed by two days in the LA area for a wedding yes we did it Hangover style : Thank you Delta! However, the captain made up most of this time in the air so it ended up being a non-issue.
Pros: "Gal at the gate was most helpful. She corrected my boarding pass to zone 1 and put us in exit row. I have sat there before but it was really roomy although the seat seemed less comfy. Downside was the screen was small so hard to see. Pros: "The gate agents were gruff, but helpful.
Stewards were super friendly. Also odd that they made us check bags with so many empty overhead bins. Pros: "The gentleman at the gate was super helpful and helped us check our bags at the gate.
Zero arm room. The entertainment system did not function. No food for such a long flight unless you pay more then the food is actually worth.
Pros: "Nothing worst flight I've ever had. The flight attendants were not helpful. Pros: "The flight was on time. The aircraft was older and for a 6 hour flight, they really should use a bigger and newer aircraft. The entertainment systems on the back of the seat worked sporadically and the PA system was too loud and every time the PA system was used while we had our headsets on, it was excruciating We had no warning in order to remove our headsets before it blasted into our ears.
We were amazed that after paying a considerable sum for our tickets and being in the air for 6 hours, there was limited meal service and we were required to purchase a sandwich in order to eat. I fly Delta frequently and this was by far the worse flight I can remember. Pros: "eventless" Cons: "Although I understand the needed delay, it would have been nice to have been served ice water in the hot cabin, instead of a small cup of tepid water.
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and kept making rounds with water so we didn't have to get up looking for it. Free entertainment at our seats made the flight go by faster.
Cons: "Some of the video I was watching on my personal screen was low quality. At one point I had to rewind it because I had missed something important. Captions were not available for the movie I was watching. Good selection for entertainment. Flight delayed. Pros: "Seating was nice Lighting was good, captain wasn't too chatty : " Cons: "This flight attendant was just terrible.
Wish I could remember her name for this review She had about half of the First Class cabin offended as soon as meals started getting served - I didn't see ANYONE around me that got what they asked for, and then when people stated the issue, she didn't respond very well. I tried to take things in stride first world problems? Cons: "For the second time in one day, my seat would not recline!!!
Very uncomfortable for an even longer flight than the first one!! Pros: "Crew was tentative. When i called to add the babies they never told me about the lap baby rule. If I would have known i would have bought my toddler her own seat no problem.
They moved my seats far from each other. My babies need to sit near their mom it was a redeye. Those seats don't recline and the constant people, flushing and talking woke the babies up all night.

Because of the curvature of the Earth, the shortest distance is actually the "great circle" distance, or "as the crow flies" which is calculated using an iterative Vincenty formula.
For a long distance, this appears as a curve on the map, and this is often the route that commercial airlines will take so it's a good estimate of the frequent flyer miles you'll accumulate as well. This is a fairly long flight, so unless you have a Gulfstream G or your own Boeing or Airbus, you might be booking a commercial flight. In that case, your travel time would really need to include how many minutes to get to your local airport, wait for security, board and taxi on the runway, land at the other airport, and get to your destination.
The flight itinerary at the top of the page takes into account all these factors to get a more accurate estimate of your actual flight time. Looking at flights on United Air Lines Inc. We picked United Air Lines Inc.
