Choosing an Airline

Several international airlines offer flights to and from this airport. If you're traveling from North America, it is a good idea to check out connecting flights or book books for the final leg of your flight with Hawaiian Airlines, because Hawaiian Airlines offers special discounts to Manila. The Filipino population in Hawaii is quite substantial and that is why they offer such discounts.
