Hawaiian Airlines (Honolulu) will offer first-ever nonstop service between Los Angeles and the islands of Kaua’i and Hawai’i, in response to growing demand during next summer’s peak travel period.

New annual summer service will commence between Los Angeles and Lihu’e, Kaua’i four times a week, and Los Angeles and Kona, Hawai’i Island three times a week starting in 2014 from June 26 to September 19. The new service will add more than 22,000 seats to both island travel markets over 12 weeks of service, and complements the new Oakland service that will also start next summer with direct flights to Lihu’e and Kona for 10 weeks.

The new Los Angeles service will be operated by Hawaiian Airlines’ wide-body, twin-aisle Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft. With the addition of the service, both Lihu’e Airport and Kona International Airport will have a Hawaiian Airlines wide-body aircraft arriving every day of the week next summer.

Hawaiian Airlines is the only carrier serving Hawai’i to offer complimentary meals in Economy Class. In addition, travelers flying between Los Angeles and Kaua’i and Hawai’i, the Big Island can relax and enjoy the comfort and roominess of Hawaiian Airlines’ wide-body, twin-aisle Boeing 767-300 aircraft, seating 264 passengers in a two-class cabin, with 18 in First Class and 246 in the Main Cabin. Adding to the enjoyment of the travel experience on Hawaiian Airlines is the carrier’s signature onboard hospitality program, Mea Ho’okipa (translation: I am host). Travelers will enjoy island-style complimentary meals and made-in-Hawai’i snacks to go along with Hawaiian Airlines’ engaging presentation of the islands’ culture, people and Aloha Spirit throughout the flight.
