Flying to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
A premier destination for the Big Island—the unique nickname given to Hawaii Island based on just how big it is—Kailua-Kona is the perfect place for visitors who love hitting the beach and staying at magnificent resorts. And if you’re looking for flights to Kailua Kona, there’s no carrier that will prepare you better for the aloha spirit and mindset found on the Big Island like Hawaiian Airlines. On all of its routes, Hawaiian Airlines consider its passengers their ohana, or family, and that aloha-first attitude can be found in every nook-and-cranny of the Big Island, especially Kailua-Kona. So if you’re booking a flight to Kona, Hawaii, know that we offer what other competitors simply cannot, and that is the feeling of being in Hawaii before you’ve even left the runway.
