The Hawaii Flight

The Hawaii flight is going to be a long one for anybody, no matter where you live, since the Hawaiian Islands are located almost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean... more than 2000 miles from the nearest major land mass.

When we've flown to Hawaii, we have done layovers and we have also done a non-stop flight. A non-stop flight from the mid-west of the United States is about 9 hours long... so, if you are planning on taking a non-stop flight from anywhere east of Los Angelos, California in the U.S., get comfortable!

Most flights that you will find will have a layover in Los Angelos before hopping on another plane for another 5 hour trip over the Pacific Ocean before landing in Honolulu.

So, almost no matter where you are traveling from, you will be in the air for at least 5 hours during your flight to Hawaii.

And do you know what the worst thing about the flight is?

Because of your anticipation of your luxurious Hawaii vacation, the closer you get to this tropical paradise, the slower the plane seems to travel... especially your first Hawaii vacation! But then, of course, you finally feel the decent of the plane and a little while later, you start seeing the Islands...

You're able to see the islands from above for about 20 minutes or so before you actually land, so there is plenty of time to take pictures and observe the islands from above.
