And you’ll feel that warm sense of aloha the moment you step on our plane.

What should you know about Honolulu?
The capital city of Hawaii since 1845, Oahu became the visitor hub it is today largely in part to the endless number of attractions Honolulu has to offer. The seemingly electric streets of Waikiki, where nightlife and hotels thrive, are hard to ignore, and its postcard-perfect beaches, well suited for a mai tai sipping afternoon, is often enough to get visitors looking for direct flights to Honolulu. But there’s so much more to Honolulu. The district of Kaimuki, for example, is often revered as a hotspot for new, innovative local cuisine, while the city’s primary mall Ala Moana Center, simply referred to as Ala Moana, is the largest open-air shopping center in the world.
