Hi! I pieced together 2 flights to get to Hawaii from Raleigh RDU. I was originally only carrying a backpack + carryon but they are both very full with no room left; they will still fit but I would probably have to mail souvenirs back! LOL. I'm considering switching to checking a bag. I have the first flight of the day 5am, from what i've read the ticket counter and security do not even open until 4am. The terminal in which Southwest is located does not have the other major airlines so it is not normally as busy as the others (from my research). My question is do you think checking my bag to final destination will make me rushed in getting through security (I do have Pre-check also). TIA!

Thanks so much! I don't fly much at all so I appreciate it!

Thanks for the response! I was going through DEN bc I can get there nonstop arriving at 650am. I was trying to do the 830am departure, but there is a 11:15am also. Thoughts on this? Since my first flight is nonstop I should be fine with the 830 right, especially with only carryon? I'm using points so this whole trip is free! I will have to stay overnight coming back but really wanted to get there in one day.

Curious how this trip turned out....Were you able to just go to your next gate?

When I try to book rdu to Koa it says call Southwest ( can't be booked online). So I called and the person said they couldn't book that either...that id have to book a one way to West Coast then another from there to Hawaii. But they also said I'd have to exit and renter security again therefore I need at least 2 hours in between flight. This seems crazy...why would I need to exit? I'm not planning on checking bags. I was planning on catching the Hawaii flight from Denver bc I can do a nonstop from RDU there.
