Travel in Hawaiian

Visiting the Hawaiian islands just got easier thanks to Delta's new flight routes. Announced Friday, airline will begin new seasonal service from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) on Nov. 21, 2024 through April 30, 2025, Delta shared with Travel + Leisure. This new route will mean that every one of Delta’s hub locations will have direct flights to Honolulu. The carrier will also restore a route from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)  to Maui’s Kahului Airport (OGG) on November 21, 2024 through March 29, 2025.  “Over the past decade, Delta has been dedicated to refining our domestic footprint, and this year we’re strengthening our roots within our well-positioned U.S. hubs to match increased demand,” Delta’s Senior Vice President of Network Planning Joe Esposito said in a statement shared with T+L.  Delta says that all of the new Hawaii routes will be available for purchase on February 17, 2024. 

Hawaiian Airlines is offering a new option for travelers to skip the line and move through Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) with a bit more comfort. And the service includes access to an exclusive new lounge.

I can often maintain objectivity in my travel-writing work with relative ease, slipping into neutral gear and assessing a hotel (or restaurant or spa) for its merits as well as its challenges. But when I know a place well and have loved it since long before travel writing became a serious endeavor for me, all bets are off. I certainly try to have an open mind in both critical directions, positive and negative. But — full disclosure — Maui’s Fairmont Kea Lani, in Wailea on the island’s South Shore, had me at hello nearly 30 years ago, and its recent transformation is, not surprisingly, spectacular. In particular, the new Hale Kukuna Cultural Center, which is now the focus of the property’s redesigned lobby, has reinvigorated this already harmonious, generous space.

“Have a safe flight” may be more of a customary farewell than a genuine concern for the safety of modern air travel, but we've all had those mid-air onsets of hyperawareness that flying in a metal tube through the sky at 500 miles per hour is certainly no small feat (some of us more than most). While there are many details to worry about when planning a trip, one thing no traveler wants to be concerned with is whether the plane they’re flying on is safe.
