We were scheduled to last year, but they cancelled our flight back to the mainland about 36 hours before we were to fly. The soonest option was 3 days later, so we had to scramble and find another flight on our own, which ended up being on Delta. We won’t book with Southwest again for flights to or from Hawaii.
We did last July from the East Coast. Flew to San Jose, visited the Winchester Mystery House, had dinner, then went back to hotel. We then flew out the next morning to Honolulu. We used points for entire trip-cash price was around $1500 for 4 of us from San Jose, round trip. We pretty much only fly SW domestically and it was a great process. Having the option to take 2 bags per person for free is also a plus. Snacks were handed out and we also brought our own food on board.Has anyone flown Southwest to Hawaii yet?
How was it?
We went in February and found out that there are buses outside the gate that drive directly to baggage claim. On previous trips we had that long walk to the gate, but not anymore.I flew Southwest before to HNL, but man... the walk from Terminal Gate in HNL to baggage claim is the longest I think for any airport, without good mass transport. Otherwise, the free 2 luggage are great, more souvenirs that we don't need to bring home .
