Virgin Holidays to Hawaii

Hey Folks
I may have missed this on their website (had a late night and still suffering...) but when you book a holiday with VH to Hawaii, how do you get there?!

I know VS doesnt fly direct and was curious! [:?]

Hi,

I think it is VS flgihts to LAX then either American or Hawaiian airlines from LAX to Hawaii ( per the printed brochure last year )

Regards

many thanks, couldnt see it online!

If you are doing a set itinerary as per the brochure it is usually via LAX outbound and SFO inbound. However, you can choose your own stopovers and travel via LAX, SFO or LAS and take Hawaiian flights to connect to the Islands in either direction.

Depends on your travel plans. We did a two-centre holiday, one week in LA followed by a week in Honolulu, booked with VH. Flew Virgin to LAX, then Hawaiian Airlines between LAX and HNL, and the same route back. Some other people who were in HNL at the time on a VH holiday flew Virigin LGW to Las Vegas, then Hawaiian between LAS and HNL, then their return flight was Hawaiian back to LAX, then Virgin back to LHR. Hope that helps. Also worth a note, Hawaiian flights are mostly on Boeing 767's, with overhead TV's above the aisle, and they charge about $5 for use of the IFE [:0] We didn't bother, and I just used my Archos media player instead Service on Hawaiian was pretty decent, not as good as I've come to expect of Virgin (well, PE on Virgin anyway ), and the food was pretty good too The main problem I noticed was that on the flights you need to take to make the connection in LAX on the return leg, is that because its the first flight of the day, it was massively overbooked, and apparently this is pretty much a daily occurence.
