Maui Flights
One major and two small airports on Maui
Maui has three airports - most people will fly only into Kahului:
Kahului Airport (OGG) the major airport located in Kahului
Kapalua Airport (JHM), located north of Kaanapali
Hana Airport (HNM), located in Hana
Stopping in Honolulu
The only way (as of early 2006) to get to Maui from Honolulu is to fly, either on an interisland flight or on a commuter or charter flight. Some airlines fly directly to Maui while some go to Honolulu Airport first and either connect you to Maui or expect you to find your own way. A one way ticket from Honolulu to Maui could go for as low as $40 to as high as $100.
Flying Direct to Maui
Major airlines that fly into Maui are Aloha, Hawaiian, American West (US Airways), American Airlines, ATA, Continental, Delta, and Northwest. See my post Who flys where in Hawaii for more info and direct links.
So is it cheaper to make a stop in Honolulu or fly direct to Maui?
With all these choices I'm going to guess that flying directly to Maui is cheaper and easier. We can check though - I'll make some simple queries at some of these airlines and see what I come up with. We'll do searches from Las Vegas, NV for a baseline price in June (two months from when I am writing this), a tuesday to a tuesday.
*** These are sample prices, they WILL be different when you search!
Fly Direct to Kahului, Maui
America West - $668
Fly to Honolulu with a connecting flight already figured in the price
Continental - $501
United - $501
American - $688
Hawaiian - $725
Fly to Honolulu and still have to pay way to Maui
ATA - $566 (with connecting, approx $668)
Hawaiian - $607 ($707)
Summary - So, flying direct looks easiest, and generally cheapest, although it seems you can still get pretty good prices by letting the airline book your connecting flight to Maui.
