Hawaiian Airlines has announced three new mainland routes to be effective next spring. These will be well received as other airlines have curtailed Hawaii flights to these destinations.

First, Hawaiian will fly daily between Salt Lake City and Honolulu starting May 15, 2024. The flights will operate using the narrow-body, 189-seat Airbus A321neo aircraft. SLC represents the 16th mainland gateway served by Hawaiian

Hawaiian CEO Peter Ingram and SLC Airport manager Bill Wyatt gave customary quotes about the new flights improving tourism and educational times between the states. Hawaii has long been a popular destination from underserved Salt Lake City. Utah also has a large Pacific Islander population estimated to be about 60,000.

Red-eye HA flight 84 departs HNL at 6:50 pm and arrives SLC at 5:15 am the following day. From Salt Lake City, HA83 departs at 7 am. and arrives HNL at 9:55 am. You’ll recall that many Hawaii visitors prefer red-eye returns to the mainland since it provides an extra day in Hawaii without an additional hotel night required.

Underserved Sacramento to see new Hawaiian Airlines flights.

Hawaiian also announced it is expanding service from Sacramento with four times weekly flights to Kauai, starting May 24. They will also begin three times weekly flights to Kona, effective May 25. These are in addition to Hawaiian’s current service between Sacramento and, Honolulu and Maui. The new Sacramento flights will operate using narrow-body A321neo aircraft.

WiFi will be offered on these and other flights starting early 2024.

Hawaiian Airlines also confirmed today that it’s offering free WiFi. They said it will “equip these A321neos with high-speed Starlink internet, which will be offered complimentary to all guests on aircraft outfitted with WI-FI starting early next year.” The only aircraft to not receive WiFi will be the current interisland fleet.
