Flight

Island of Hawaiʻi

Our wedding is on the Island of Hawaii, also known as The Big Island. The nearest airport is the Kona International Airport. For guests traveling internationally: Consider booking a flight to Honolulu first with your best airline, then booking a separate domestic flight with a U.S. airline from Honolulu to the Kona International Airport, Big Island. These flights run frequently and take around 45 minutes. For guests traveling from the U.S. or Europe: If you're coming from the West Coast (e.g. Los Angeles or San Francisco), there are direct flights to the Big Island. If you're traveling from the East Coast or Europe, the best route will likely be to connect through a major West Coast hub like LAX or SFO. We know it’s a bit of a journey, and we’re so grateful you're making the effort to celebrate with us. If you have any questions or need help with travel planning, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
