Air Travel to Kauai

HomeLocal Area GuideAir Travel to Kauai

Kauai’s airport code is LIH. Please note that many airlines only offer late-night flights departing from Lihue, so please plan accordingly when you are making travel arrangements.

Rideshare apps like Uber do exist on Kauai but mainly service the Lihue area near the airport. It is not recommended to use these as reliable transportation when you are on island.

Direct Flights to Lihue, Kauai

Direct flights to Lihue are available from Virgin, Delta, United, Hawaiian and American out of LA and San Francisco. American flies direct out of Phoenix. Hawaiian has many west coast gateway cities, as does Alaska (our current favorite). Many people like getting to Kauai 2 hours sooner by missing Honolulu altogether. The direct to Lihue flights tend to be a little more expensive, but you are avoiding the Honolulu to Lihue inter-island airfare of approx $150 round trip ), so do your homework! Canadian airlines West Jet is now coming direct to Lihue also.

Frequent Flyer Miles, the Cheapest Way to Get Here!

The cheapest way to Kaua’i, of course, is frequent flyer miles if you’ve got them. Be aware that FF seats on the scheduled airlines go very, very fast for the holidays and summer months. You can book FF seats 11 months in advance of your departure date home from Kaua’i, and we heartily suggest you do so for those periods. FF seats are more readily available other times of the year, but when flying to Hawaii, planning ahead is always the best.

Airfare Pricing and Timing…

Historically Airfares trend south around September 10th. So if you are coming in the Fall, try to hold off until then to buy your tickets. They stay cheap for flights until December 15th and then up they go. Non-holiday, non-summer fares are reasonably cheap if you are trying to get those miles banked up for the free trip back to Kauai next year! The airlines are really gouging for summer and winter fares. Bets to look for fares sales prior to ticketing. If you want to keep abreast of the Hawaii air fare market place we suggest you subscribe to BeatofHawaii.com … a free blog that always has the most up to date information on fare sales to the island.
