The flight on Hawaiian air is short and enjoyable.

Cool mist and Hawaiian tunes greet passengers as they find assigned seats. And you don’t need entertainment or wifi on this flight. The views out the window are stunning!

A note on baggage check points

There are some repetitive bag check points at the airport. A lot of this is to prevent bugs from leaving the island. The only fruit that can leave the island is uncut pineapple.
