Australia to Hawaii Flights

There’s something about the Islands’ warm weather, golden sands, perfectly groomed coastlines and friendly locals that is just so appealing.

For locals, showing aloha—that iconic island attitude of giving and respect— is vital, and is what makes flying Hawaiian Airlines so special. From the moment you step onto a Hawaiian Airlines plane at your departure terminal at the Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, you’ll feel that aloha spirit—the essence of Hawaii. So when it comes time to book your flight from Australia to Hawaii, do it with Hawaiian Airlines.
 

Flying to Hawaii From Australia

Can you Fly Direct from Australia to Hawaii?
It depends on where you’re departing from. The only airport that offers nonstop flights from Australia to Honolulu is the Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, while flights from other major Australian airports, such as Melbourne to Honolulu will require a—short—stop and layover at Sydney’s airport before making its way to the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. If you’re flying to Hawaii and plan to stay and explore Maui, Kauai or Hawaii Island, you will touch down briefly at HNL Airport on Oahu before reaching your final destination. Regardless, tickets with layover times are short and give you a much needed opportunity to stretch your legs and pick up something to eat before the next leg of your trip.

It’s pretty normal for Hawaii residents to only think of summer and winter when it comes to the Islands’ seasons, as the traditional seasonal changes don’t make much of an impact on Hawaii's always-tropical weather. Prices for flights to Hawaii are impacted by the months however, and typically you can find more lower priced flights from Australia during fall and spring, which tends to see less visitors and—this is
important—emptier beaches. And if you’re an Aussie in search of good surf, be sure to target the islands’ most consistent surfing months—November through January for northern shorelines and June to August for southern coasts.
