We BARELY made the connection and when we got onboard we were treated like disobedient children who should have arrived earlier because we had to ask other passengers to move so we could sit with our kids. The flight attendants on the first flight were nice but the second one, they were snippy and fairly rude.

Best Time to Fly to Kailua-Kona, HI

Whenever you feel the need for sunshine! Well, almost any time. Hawaii is always warm, but there is a rainy season, which lasts roughly from November to March. But this is hardly a monsoon season, and there will be plenty of sunny days. However, Christmas can see crowds of tourists escaping their winter weather, so travel in spring for the best deals. Summer months between June and September are busy, as it is the peak travel season.

One of the most popular Hawaiian destinations is the city of Kailua Kona, situated on the Island of Hawaii or the Big Island. When you fly to this Hawaiian city on the central western coast of the Big Island, you will be landing at the Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (KOA). If you plan to pick up a rental car when you land at KOA, exit arrivals at Baggage Claim Area A or B, cross the street, and go to the median. Here, you can catch a complimentary shuttle to the car rental agency where you made your reservation. Some of these agencies include Enterprise, Budget, Avis, Dollar, Alamo, Thrifty, Hertz, and National.

When you fly to Kailua Kona (KOA) from the continental US, you can find some direct flights from cities in the western United States. For instance, United, American, Delta, and Hawaiian Airlines operate direct flights from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to KOA. Southwest operates a direct flight from the Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) serving Las Vegas. Alaska Airlines operates direct flights to KOA from Seattle (SEA), Portland (PDX), San Jose, California (SJC), and San Diego (SAN).

Most flights to Kailua Koa from the eastern and midwest United States entail one or two connections. For instance, you can fly from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), serving New York City, to KOA aboard United with one stop in Denver (DEN) or aboard Alaska with one stop in Seattle (SEA). From Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), you can fly Alaska with one stop in Seattle (SEA), United with one stop in Los Angeles (LAX), or American with one stop and Phoenix (PHX). On these longer flights, consider paying a fee to add extra legroom in order to make an economy plane journey more comfortable.

  • What should I pack for a flight to Kailua Kona?

    When you arrive in Kailua Kona, you'll be enveloped in the laid-back Hawaiian vibe right away. So, when you pack, there is no need to bring excessively dressy clothes, unless you are going to Kailua Kona specifically for a formal social event, such as a wedding. Remember to pack sunblock, sunglasses, a sun hat, swimwear, lightweight shorts and tops, and comfortable shoes. Since Kailua Kona is right on the ocean, nights can get cool. For that reason, pack a light jacket or sweatshirt and one pair of jeans or pants. Since you will no doubt be exploring the island, pack a small backpack that you can take on your daily adventures.

  • What are some things to do in Kailua Kona?

    Renowned as one of the most unforgettable dives on the planet, the Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive is something worth checking out.

Or you could even take a Kona Submarine Tour - Atlantis Undersea Expedition. You will dive 100 feet down into the ocean in the largest recreational submarine in the world. To absorb some island history, you can visit Hulihee Palace, formerly a vacation home of Hawaiian royals and now a museum surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds.

  • Can I take public transport from the Kona International Airport (KOA) into downtown Kailua Kona?
