Flying to Oahu from San Diego
What Airports do you use when Flying from SAN to HNL?
If you’re looking to book flights from sunny San Diego to Honolulu—which also happens to be very sunny!—with Hawaiian Airlines, consider the airlines’ regularly scheduled direct plane tickets, which will only have you entering the San Diego International Airport and exiting the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on Oahu. If you’re planning on island-hopping—which is a great way to explore more of Hawaii on your trip—to Hilo or Kona on the Island of Hawaii (Big Island), Kahului, Maui or Lihue, Kauai, Hawaiian Airlines has got you covered, offering convenient airfare to all of Hawaii’s major islands and their respective regional airports.
When is the Best Time to Fly from San Diego to Honolulu?
With both San Diego and Honolulu having comfortably warm temperatures year round, choosing when to book your Hawaii flights is almost entirely up to personal preference. Trust us, there won’t be a bad time to come to Honolulu. As a general rule of thumb, traveling to Oahu in the summer or winter season can be a bit pricier, while shoulder seasons like spring and fall are better for the budget-minded flyer. If you’re thinking of visiting Oahu’s neighbor islands, like San Diego to Maui or San Diego to Kauai, it’s good
to keep in mind any seasonal events or spectacles you’d like to see. Maui’s northern coastlines—for example—catches gnarly surf during the winter months, and if you’re lucky, you could even see the fabled big wave surf spot Peahi (popularly known as Jaws) produce waves as high as 50 feet.
How Long is the Travel Time to Honolulu from San Diego?
Not long! Departing from the West Coast means you’ll be up in the air for around six hours—just enough time to catch some sleep or read a book. If you can’t sleep on planes, don’t fret! Hawaiian Airlines has awesome in-flight entertainment options, from blockbuster movies to insightful magazine features—found in the airlines’ inflight publication Hana Hou!—that dive deep into Hawaii’s culture and communities.
Interesting Facts About Hawaii
While San Diegans and other mainland travelers have become accustomed to the nonstop service and nonstop flights to the islands of Hawaii, the first Mainland flight to Hawaii didn’t happen until 1936. Before that, commercial travel to Hawaii first began with service that ferried mail, cargo and passengers from San Francisco on a steamship. Now roundtrip routes that come and go through the islands are commonplace. But, only one airline can find its roots here in Hawaiian soil, and that’s Hawaiian Airlines.
