HNL layover?

Ok, I%26#39;ve got a question about the Honolulu airport....

I%26#39;m going to Kauai over spring break in march. One of the flights i booked has changed though. Originally we were going to have a 1.5 hour layover in Honolulu before continuing on to Kauai. The flight is through Mesa Airlines, but now they moved it forward an hour, so we only have 33 mins between arriving and departing. This flight is also their last of the day, which could be a problem if we need to change flights.

Is HNL laid out easy enough that we could make the connection (even if we%26#39;re the last ones to board?) Some airports I%26#39;ve been to would make that connection time fairly easy, even if the gates were at opposite ends, while other airports would be nightmare.

We%26#39;re flying into HNL through Northwest Airlines, which looks like it normally gets into gates 11 or 12, but i can%26#39;t figure out what gates Mesa normally flys out of (otherwise I could judge off the terminal map).

So could we make it from our Alaska flight to the Mesa flight in 33 minutes or less, or should I start looking to change flights around?

thanks!

HNL layover?

I%26#39;d start looking around. What if your mainland flight is 15 minutes late landing?

HNL layover?

That will be a very tight and risky connection. And Mesa, aka go!, is located in the commuter terminal. This link should be able to help.

How did you book your tickets? Are they all on the same reservation (PNR)? Your best bet is to call whoever you booked your tickets through and work out a solution. You don%26#39;t want to be stranded in HNL overnight. Change fees should be waived due to schedule change.

More good general info.

Flights were booked through travelocity. I figured I should change, just wanted to check. shouldn%26#39;t be too hard to change, since if i remember correctly there were several other flights that went the same route, just earlier in the morning, plus they%26#39;re all through Alaska.

One questions; what is ';PNR';?

OH! Way too risky. NW is is a completely different terminal and you%26#39;d need to debark, wait for the WikiWiki shuttle and then walk to the Go terminal. You need to call the travel company and tell them they are now not allowing enough time between flights.

PNR is Passenger Name Record. It%26#39;s a six character confirmation code for your flights i.e. ABCDEF. If all of your flights are on one PNR, then your luggage should be checked all the way through to your destination (LIH), instead of having to claim your luggage in HNL, and then check back in with go!

Are you flying out of SeaTac? See if you can get your flight changed to Alaska%26#39;s direct flight. It leaves at 4:20PM and arrives at 7:45PM.
