Hmmm....I'll have to look into the Charlotte idea. We live just 10 minutes away from RDU so we just consider that. As for another airline, I already gave up on SW for the trip back as they don't fly late enough at night. With 250,000 miles and two companion passes, I was hoping to at least GET to Hawaii "for free." Again, thanks for the CLT tip!

Thanks...yeah...I've been listening to Hawaii news and travel podcasts and even reading Hawaii city-data.com pages. I would like to wait until 8 weeks after quarantine is lifted to let it all get sorted out a bit before arriving.

Thanks for the reply! Ah...I didn't know the SAN - OGG never even started. We were originally scheduled to go in May....then August...now I'm shooting for September. If that isn't 6-8 weeks after the quarantine is lifted, then we will probably just wait until the following May 😞 So far, it looks like I may need to choose between a meal with family in San Diego, then HNL - OGG later that day (soooo many flights in one day?!) or overnight in OAK or SJC then direct to OGG. Bleh.... Please, oh please, Southwest schedule making people - add back SAN to OGG or put back the earlier-in-the-day flight from RDU to OAK or SJC.

I could have sworn SW used to fly directly from San Diego to Maui. I thought I had that flight?! It was cancelled and now seems to have disappeared. When will the direct flight from San Diego to OGG resume? I am trying to get there in September and having a heck of a time figuring out how to get from RDU to OGG. Option 1 Attempt - RDU to SAN, spend an afternoon and evening hanging with family, fly to OGG in the morning - but what happened to direct SAN - OGG?! I REALLY don't want to have to change flights. Like, really. It's tough with all of us, and I am a nervous flier. Option 2 Attempt - RDU to OAK or SJC, then direct to OGG....but the flight arrives on the west coast 10-20 minutes after the flights leave for OGG. Really don't want to spend 5-6 hours in the airport instead of arriving in Maui early afternoon. There used to be earlier flights from RDU to OAK or SJC, but those have disappeared as well. Will that come back? That could help, too. Between my husband and I, we have something like 250,000 miles and two companion passes and can't figure out how to somewhat conveniently get to Hawaii. Help?! Thank you!
