Hi all,
We are from the U.K., and are visiting Aulani next summer with a 5 day stop over in Texas on our way home.
Whilst we’ve been to Hawaii before, this will our first little taste of Texas and I don’t want to waste a single minute!
We are trying to decide between two flight options from HNL to DFW, and would appreciate advice from anyone familiar with this journey please.
We’ve narrowed it down to two choices :
option 1/ Depart Honolulu at 8am, stopover in LAX and arrive in Dallas at 10.30pm. Overnight in the Hyatt at the airport.
option 2/Depart Honolulu at 8.15pm, non stop to Dallas arriving at 8.30am.
Due to our limited time in Texas we would want to pick up a hire car and go sightseeing straight from the airport if we take the night flight, and I know that will in effect feel like the middle of the night as we will be on Hawaiian time! So I’m slightly worried that this is a bad idea?!
So I am instead leaning towards the first option, but my reservations about that are that we would lose the day in Aulani and also would need to be up at 5am to return the hire car to the airport and catch that early flight.
Has anyone got any experience of these flights and any recommendations on which option we should choose?
many thanks!
