We welcome Young Travelers and Unaccompanied Minors onboard to Hawaii. Learn more about our Unaccompanied Minor service and additional documentation specifically related to travel to the Hawaiian islands.
All flights between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland (excluding interisland travel) are offering alcoholic beverages, as well as free sodas, juice, and coffee. You’ll also get an exclusive Hawaii snack bag.
If you’re flying between islands, onboard service varies. Visit our Help Center to see examples of which flights (traveling 175 miles or less) will only serve water.
We don’t have standard or USB plugs onboard, so if your smartphone, tablet, or laptop is running low on battery, we recommend getting a quick charge in the airport prior to boarding.
Animal policies
Only fully trained service dogs assisting Customers with disabilities are permitted on flights from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii. No other animals are permitted on flights from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii.
Hawaii is rabies free. Hawaii’s quarantine law is designed to protect residents and animals from potentially serious health problems associated with the introduction and spread of rabies. All dogs, regardless of age or purpose, must comply with Hawaii’s import requirements.
State of Hawaii Quarantine Program fees may apply. However, Southwest does not charge fees for you to transport your trained service dog onboard with you.
In the event of a delay when traveling to Hawaii, which could result in your animal not being released from quarantine until the following day, Southwest Airlines will offer to rebook you on the next available flight. If your flight is diverted to a Hawaii location other than your scheduled destination, a Southwest Airlines Customer Service Agent will meet your inbound flight and ensure your animal remains in the gate area until you have boarded the flight to your final destination.
Honolulu International Airport (HNL) is the only point of entry for dogs entering Hawaii, unless a valid Neighbor Island Inspection Permit has been issued by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture. Learn more about the Neighbor Island Inspection Permit.
