Fly nonstop to the Big Island from these North American cities

Hawaiian Airlines unveiled its nonstop route between Los Angeles and Kona, but they aren’t the only carrier getting into the neighbor island game.

Last month, Hawaiian Airlines announced it will be adding nonstop flights between Kona and Los Angeles in 2018, however, it isn’t the only airline expanding its nonstop service to the Big Island in the coming months. Later on this December, Alaska Airlines will begin nonstop service between Kona and San Francisco, and United Airlines will increase their service between Kona and Hilo, and Los Angeles.

If you’ve been thinking about hiking to lava flows in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park or catching a sunrise on Mauna Kea, this winter might be the perfect time to make it happen. Here are the cities and carriers that can get you to the biggest (and baddest) Hawaiian Island, without the Honolulu headaches.
