What is the distance between San Francisco and Honolulu?
San Francisco is one of the closer U.S. cities in terms of proximity to Honolulu, and the distance from San Francisco to Hawaii is a brisk 2,393 miles. With the handful of hours in the air, the non-stop flight provides a good opportunity to brush up on your Hawaiian language, olelo Hawaii, via the airline’s Learn Olelo Hawaii in-flight videos. Hawaiian Airlines also offers complimentary issues of Hana Hou Magazine—a Honolulu-based travelogue that features stories and articles relating to the islands—to passengers, which will make your San Francisco to Honolulu flight go that much smoother.
Do I need a passport to travel to Hawaii?
Fortunately, no passport is needed when making the jump from San Francisco to Hawaii, which became a state in 1959. What will you need when you arrive at Honolulu International Airport? An extra towel—or two—for the beach will definitely come in handy. A hoodie or rain jacket, for the trade winds and high-altitude locales. And, in case it’s been awhile since you’ve experienced copious amounts of tropical sunlight, bring lots and lots of reef-safe sunscreen.
