Hawaiian Airlines recently secured from Australian and US authorities
approval to begin accepting flight reservations for the new nonstop services, and until 31 March is offering introductory roundtrip fares from
AUD $1074, plus tax, from Sydney to Honolulu.
Subject to final approval by the Australian Government and issuance of an
international airline license, Hawaiian's first nonstop service - flight HA 22 -
will depart Sydney on Tuesday, 18 May.
The airline will then depart Sydney on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Fridays at 9:30 p.m., crossing the international dateline and arriving in
Honolulu at 10.55am the same day.
The return flight will depart Honolulu on Mondays, Wednesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays at 1:30 p.m., arriving in Sydney the following day
at 7:30 p.m., as Sydney is 21 hours ahead of Hawaii.
In addition to introductory fares from Sydney to Honolulu, Hawaiian is
offering special roundtrip fares from just AUD $1169 - plus taxes - for flights
from Sydney to the islands of Kauai, Maui, Molokai, Lanai and Hawaii's Big
Island, with same day jet connections from Honolulu.
It is also offering common-rated introductory fares from just $1503 - plus
taxes - from Sydney to Hawaiian's eight US mainland destinations - Seattle,
Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Hawaiian will fly the new Sydney route with Boeing 767-300ER wide-body
aircraft. The twin-aisle, twin-jet B767 seats 252 passengers, 18 in Business
Class and 234 in Economy Class, featuring the comfort and convenience of
2-3-2 economy seating, giving more than 80 per cent of passengers a window or aisle seat. |
