Today (February 12, 2021), United Airlines announced the launch of exclusive nonstop service between Orange County, California and Honolulu starting May 6, 2021. The airline will also start first-ever nonstop flights between Chicago and Kona, as well as between New York-Newark and Maui from June 3, 2021. With the added service, United will offer nonstop flights on over 20 routes between the mainland and Hawaii. Customers can purchase tickets for flights on the new Orange County to Honolulu route starting Saturday, February 13, 2021. United’s guests departing Orange County can skip the document screening process in Hawaii by showing proof of a negative COVID-19 test.


In Friday’s announcement, United Airlines’ Vice President of International Network and Alliances, Patrick Quayle, said,


"We know customers are dreaming of summer getaways and we want United to be their top choice for travel to Hawaii. Our new Hawaii routes from Chicago, Newark and Orange County, in addition to the dozens of flights United already operates from the mainland to Hawaii, offer travelers even more options, greater convenience and shorter travel times to the fantastic outdoor offerings Hawaii has to offer.”
