When is the Best Time to Fly from Los Angeles to Kauai?
If you’re looking for competitive fares and flexible flights to Kauai from Los Angeles, you’re in the right place. Our online booking system allows you to easily purchase tickets to Hawaii regardless knowing you’ll be getting the best price available regardless of the season. If you’re really trying to nail down your LIH flights and need to know when the “best” time of the year to travel to Hawaii is, you can never go wrong with summer—when the days are long and the weather is truly sublime. However, know that there really is no bad time to come to the Islands, especially Kauai, and that you’ll be greeted by shining rays of sun and tropical temperatures no matter the time or date.
What Airports do you use when Flying from LAX to Lihue?
With Hawaiian Airlines, making it to Kauai is as easy as stepping on your departing flight at the Los Angeles International Airport—spending a handful of blissful hours in the air—and exiting your aircraft at the Lihue airport. While Hawaiian Airlines does offer nonstop flights to Kauai, your Lihue flight may also include a brief layover at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu depending on the arrival and departure time you’re trying to plan around. In
fact, a layover on Oahu can actually be a bonus for first-time Hawaii travelers, who will get a stunning view of Leahi (also known as Diamond Head) and much of the island’s southern coastlines on the flight in—as long as you’re traveling during daylight hours.
How Long is the Flight from Los Angeles to Lihue?
If you’re headed directly from LAX to LIH with no layovers in sight, then you can expect your flight to take just over six hours, which is the average for most popular flights and departures heading out from the West Coast to Hawaii. If you have a stop in Honolulu on your flight itinerary, you can tack on an extra hour or two to your total travel time, but you can use that time to stretch your legs, visit the airport’s outdoor garden and take in some of that fresh Hawaiian air.
Interesting Facts About Kauai
Kauai is known as the Garden Isle for a reason. The island happens to be one of the wettest places on Earth, hence the flourishing flora. In fact, Mount Waialeale—the second highest point of Kauai—literally means “rippling water” or “overflowing water” in Hawaiian and averages 451 inches of rain per year. There are a few reasons why Kauai is so wet, including its place in the Hawaiian Island chain, being the northernmost island, as well as persistently easterly trades that bring substantial moisture from the ocean.
