Flights from Portland to Kona
If you’re looking to trade in the roses of Portland for the plumeria and hibiscus flowers of Hawaii, making the trip from Portland to Kona is one way to do it. On Hawaii Island—also referred to as the Big Island by locals and visitors—you’ll see a side of the Islands that truly embraces the old-Hawaii way of life, and locals as well as businesses promote the spirit of aloha through their words and actions. As does Hawaiian Airlines, one of the only major commercial airlines operating that can trace its roots to the Hawaii of old. Offering non stop flights to Hawaii through a number of popular routes to Maui, Kauai, Oahu and the Big Island, Hawaiian Airlines honors its legacy by keeping the spirit of aloha as an integral part of its day-to-day operations.

What Airports do you use when Flying from PDX to KOA?

Inouye International Airport in Honolulu on Oahu or the Kahului Airport on Maui. From there you’ll have a brief layover—a great time to take in the airport views and vibe of these neighbor islands—before heading to your final destination, the Ellison Onizuka Kona International
Airport in Keahole. A much needed rest on your journey from the PDX to KOA layovers—if you have any—on Oahu and Maui serve as a great way to stretch your legs and walk around before finally touching down on Hawaii Island.
How Long is the Travel Time from Portland to Kona?
Searching for a getaway to Hawaii but worried about the travel time? Don’t be! Even with a layover, flight time from the Portland Airport to the Kona International Airport chould only be eight to nine hours. That’s just enough time to have your itinerary hammered out once you’ve landed on the Big Island. Or, if you can, take a nap on the plane so when you land in paradise you can hit the ground running—to the beach!
Helpful Tips When Traveling to Kona
Home to some of the best beaches in Hawaii, the Kona district of Hawaii Island is one of the more active on the island, and is perfect for visitors to spend their vacations in. However, if you’re planning on driving out of Kona to one of the other spectacular towns and communities sprinkled across the Hawaii Island, just remember that it’s not called the Big Island for no reason. Larger than all of the other Major Hawaiian Islands combined, driving nonstop around the Island of Hawaii can take some serious time—so make it fun! Plan out where you want to go and what there is to see along the way to make long drives outside of Kailua Kona into adventurous road trips with plenty to see, eat and do.
