Travel Forum / Travel Types / Air Travel / July 2008Nonstops, Taiwan to Hawaii?
Are there any nonstops, or good one-stops, Taiwan to any of the Hawaiian Islands other than Oahu? -- outside of taking the straightforward Taipei to Honolulu nonstop via Delta or China Air and then island-hopping from HNL, that is. (For various reasons I might prefer to take a short hop from TPE to some other Asian transfer point, then a long nonstop direct to the final Hawaii destination.) And if the final choice were TPE->HNL via Delta or China Air, which one might be preferable (in Bus/First Class)? Thanks for any info. I believe that only Oahu (HNL) is designated as a "International Airport" complete with US Customs officials. Thats why you must connect through HNL to get to another island when traveling NonStop from a foreign country. In article <bf715922-b61a-4d6c-85d5-c46df58e7012@u36g2000pro.googlegroups.com>, > I believe that only Oahu (HNL) is designated as a "International > Airport" complete with US Customs officials. > Thats why you must connect through HNL to get to another island when > traveling NonStop from a foreign country. Ah, hah! So that may be part of the reason (along with more limited airport sizes and facilities) why one can get direct flights to some of the other islands coming from the U.S. but not from more distant trans-Pacific starting points. > In article > <bf715922-b61a-4d6c-85d5-c46df58e7012@u36g2000pro.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > the other islands coming from the U.S. but not from more distant > trans-Pacific starting points. Nope. HNL isn't the only HI airport with international flights. > I believe that only Oahu (HNL) is designated as a "International > Airport" complete with US Customs officials. > Thats why you must connect through HNL to get to another island when > traveling NonStop from a foreign country. You believe incorrectly That might be news to Kona International and JAL http://www6.hawaii.gov/dot/airports/hawaii/koa/koa_airlines.htm That was my first guess. There might be others. >> I believe that only Oahu (HNL) is designated as a "International >> Airport" complete with US Customs officials. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > That was my first guess. There might be others. There are also international flights to / from Canada >(For various reasons I might prefer to take a short hop from TPE to some >other Asian transfer point, then a long nonstop direct to the final >Hawaii destination.) There are a few flights from Narita to Kona on JALways that let you construct a connection on JL. Other than that it appears you gotta go through HNL.

There are nonstop flights from Vancouver to both Kahului and Kona. |
