How to get pre-cleared before entering Hawaii

The state of Hawaii launched a pre-travel testing program in October 2020 providing travelers the option to bypass the State’s mandatory 10-day self-quarantine by taking a state-approved COVID-19 test no more than 72 hours prior to the final scheduled departure into Hawaii and obtaining a negative test result prior to boarding. Learn more.

For those participating in the State’s pre-travel testing program, Hawaiian Airlines is now offering guests at select U.S. Mainland and International airports the opportunity to be pre-cleared prior to departure and bypass long wait times upon arrival into Hawaii.

To qualify for the pre-clear program, complete the following steps:

  1. Create a Safe Travels account for every adult on the itinerary.
  2. Add all flight and lodging information to the account.
  3. Complete the mandatory health questionnaire within the account.
  4. Upload negative test result (PDF format) from a state-approved testing partner to your Safe Travels account. We also recommend bringing a printed copy of your negative result.

These documents will be verified during the pre-screening process prior to departure or during the screening process upon arrival in Hawaii. If your valid negative COVID-19 test results are not uploaded to the Safe Travels app prior to departure or not made available during screening, you will be required to sign the 10-day self-quarantine agreement.
