Hawaii has to be the most adventurous and picturesque of the US States, situated as an archipelago in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Book cheap flights to Hawaii and experience the beautiful beaches, dramatic tropical landscapes and the thrill of the Pacific Ocean. You can bury your feet in powdery white sand, go whale watching, swim with dolphins, and more on this island paradise.

Made up of eight main islands, you’ll have plenty to do and see when you arrive in Hawaii, with its warm tropical climate, stunning scenery, and exquisite food.

Explore the natural beauty of Hawaii with a visit to Akaka Falls State Park, with its 440 feet high cascading waterfall and tropical flora and fauna, or take a trip to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park featuring the Kilauea Volcano, sandy beachfronts, Thurston Lava Tube and Mauna Lao Volcano.

The most historical landmark in Hawaii is the 19th century Hulihee Palace, made from locally available lava stone. Alternatively, the Pacific Tsunami Museum allows you to learn about the culture and history of the Hawaiians while the Onizuka Space Centre offers incredible star-gazing opportunities.

Flying to Hawaii from the UK

Here’s everything you’ll need to know when flying to Hawaii from the UK, such as flight times and entry requirements.

Flight times

Flight times average between 17 hours and 22 hours depending on which island in Hawaii you intend to travel to.

Due to its distance from the UK, Hawaii is only accessible via connecting flights, with a stopover in either mainland USA or Canada and, for further islands, Honolulu. Flights are available from most major UK cities, such as London and Manchester.

Entry requirements

Under the Visa Waiver Programme, most tourists travelling on a British passport can enter the US for up to 90 days without needing a visa. You must complete an online pre-registration form for this.

This is on the condition that you haven’t travelled to certain countries in the past six years, that you are a British Citizen and don’t hold dual nationality with certain countries, haven’t been arrested for certain crimes, have enough funds for the length of your stay, and that your passport is an ePassport.

If you don’t qualify for the Visa Waiver Programme, you must apply for a visa.
