Travel News Asia Latest Travel News Podcasts Videos Thursday, 8 October 2009

Continental Airlines has confirmed that it is to launch a new service from Los Angeles to Maui and from Orange County to Honolulu. The airline is also planning a second daily flight on the Los Angeles-Honolulu route. These flights begin 7 March 2010.

“With more destinations in the Pacific than any U.S. carrier, we are pleased to offer our customers additional travel options to Hawaii,” said Jim Compton, Continental’s executive vice president of marketing. “The flights will provide increased convenience to travelers and will complement routes provided by future Star Alliance partners.”

The new daily flight from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Maui’s Kahului Airport (OGG) will depart at 17:05 and arrive at 19:45. The return flight will depart Maui at 21:15 and arrive at Los Angeles at 05:45. Continental will operate the flights with a Boeing 737-800 with 160 seats.

Continental’s new service between Orange County’s John Wayne Airport (SNA) and the Honolulu International Airport (HNL) will initially operate four-times weekly, departing Orange County at 17:20 and arriving in Honolulu at 20:05. The return flight will depart Honolulu at 23:10 and arrive at Orange County at 07:45, except on Saturdays where it will depart a half-hour later. Continental will utilize a Boeing 737-700 on the new route with 124 seats, and plans to increase the service to daily during the summer.

Continental will utilize a Boeing 737-900 with 173 seats for its second daily flight between Los Angeles and Honolulu, departing at 13:55 and arriving at 16:40. The return flight will arrive in Los Angeles at 22:25.

Continental also serves Hawaii with daily flights from New York, Houston and Guam. Beginning Dec. 18, 2009, Continental will also operate twice-weekly service between Honolulu and Nadi, Fiji.
