Kona International Airport (KOA)

on the Big Island of Hawai'i

We suggest you book your flights NOW! The prices will start to go up mid-February.

It is a 5-hour flight from the west coast.

Remember, you lose 3-5 hours coming back depending on your time zone. It's kinda like flying to Europe, so there are a lot of red-eye flights home.

If you're looking to island hop during your vacation, Hawaiian Airlines offers numerous inter-island flights each day. It only takes about 25 minutes to fly from island to island.

Other Travel Tips

Rental Car

Recommended, as downtown Kona is a half hour drive from the airport. And you'll wanna beach hop as much as possible. Duh. We suggest getting a Jeep Wrangler to get in the island spirit! Reserve soon for the best deal on Memorial Day Weekend.

Cell phones

Yep, they'll still work. You'll still be in the U.S.
