Getting there

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 11 hours in the air.

Honolulu lists year-round nonstops from New York JFK and Los Angeles; Newark, Chicago O'Hare and Toronto are listed as seasonal.

Most travelers from the East Coast connect on the West Coast or take the long nonstop from New York; travelers from Europe and Israel need at least one connection.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

  • Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL): about 25 minutes by carHonolulu's main airport, west of Waikiki.

Late April weather

Warm and mostly sunny, with highs around 83°F (28°C) and nights near 70°F (21°C).

Good to know

  • Hawaii does not change its clocks; in April it is six hours behind New York and three hours behind Los Angeles.
  • Waikiki is walkable, but a car is useful for the North Shore and the east coast.
  • Flights from the East Coast are long, so allow extra time before Yom Tov.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
