Oakland, Calif., 2022-Mar-10 — /Travel PR News/ — Hawaiian Airlines is offering Bay Area travelers more convenient options to visit Hawaii this summer by adding daily nonstop service between Oakland International Airport (OAK) and Kailua-Kona (KOA) on Hawaii Island. Seats are on sale now and flights begin on June 15th, 2022 and run through September 6th, 2022.

Westbound – Daily:     Depart OAK 8:10 AM – Arrive KOA 10:40 AM

Eastbound – Daily:      Depart KOA 11:55 AM – Arrive OAK 8:10 PM

Travelers will enjoy the airline’s warm Hawaiian hospitality onboard a modern, quiet, and fuel-efficient Airbus A321neo aircraft featuring 16 luxurious leather recliners, 44 Extra Comfort seats and 128 main cabin seats.

“The Kona Coast has been an increasingly popular destination for Bay area travelers, and we are pleased to once again offer our Oakland guests convenient nonstop service to the Island of Hawaii,” says Brent Overbeek, senior vice president of network planning and revenue management at Hawaiian Airlines. The airline previously offered these flights during the summer of 2016.

The seasonal route will become Hawaiian’s fourth daily flight connecting the San Francisco East Bay and the islands, joining existing nonstop service between OAK and Honolulu on Oahu, Kahului on Maui, and Lihue on Kauai.
