We are in the early stages of planning a trip to Aulani for Thanksgiving 2017. While I am a very seasoned flyer, I have never flown to Hawaii before.
There are no direct flights to HNL from our home airport, so we will need to make at least one stop.
Is there any airport that is "best" in terms of flying direct to HNL? I would think the obvious choices are SFO or LAX, as those would have the shortest flight times and, consequently, the lowest prices.
But is that necessarily true? Is there another airport - SEA or LAS, for example - that might actually have better pricing, greater flight frequency, or some other benefit that makes them preferable departure locations? I know "best" is a subjective term, and airline prices can be weird, but is there any reason SFO or LAX would not generally be the "go-to" choice?
