There’s a lot to love about Melbourne—the eccentric arcades, Victorian-era architecture and metropolitan lifestyle are all strong selling points of the city—but sometimes you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Batmania. Fortunately, flights from Melbourne to Hawaii are just a click away. And with Hawaiian Airlines—Hawaii’s favorite airline service provider for locals and visitors—you can easily book flights from Melbourne to Honolulu, or any of Oahu’s neighbor islands like Kauai, Maui and Hawaii Island, with the airlines’ simple-to-use online platform, which will make sure you get the best flight deals on popular flights and routes.

While there really is no bad time to travel to Hawaii, plan your trip around the fall and spring seasons if you’re looking to save on booking the best flights to Hawaii from Melbourne. During these months you’ll find flight deals that are easier on your wallet along with Hawaii holiday packages, and you can expect to see emptier beaches, more alone time on hiking trails and smaller crowds around popular Hawaii attractions, such as Matsumoto’s Shave Ice on Oahu’s North Shore and the summit of Haleakala on Maui. Of course, summer and winter are some of the best times to visit Hawaii in their own ways—as Christmas in the Islands is truly a unique experience and summer is synonymous with Hawaii’s postcard perfect beaches and ideal island days.

Hawaii is a part of the United States of America—being the nation’s 50th state—and is considered international travel for Aussies. So yes, if you want to travel from Melbourne to Honolulu (MEL to HNL)—or any of the Hawaiian Islands—you will need a valid passport for any flight to Hawaii. And once you’re there you will be on a visitor’s visa, which allows you to stay in the country for up to 90 days.
