So booked a condo in maui in november, now need to book a flight. Wondering who people have used or any good leads on good experiences. Prefer direct flight but seem to be hard to find these days. Thanks in advance .

Been there with westjet no complaints other than stop in Vancouver. Airport was under construction kind of a gong show probly ok now. Would deffinetly try to find direct just because you kill an entire day changing over in Vancouver both ways.

Same here. Went there 3 times and used westjet direct every time. Avoid United, like a cattle car in the sky. Gong show.

Looked at westjet, air canada, delta, united on the mobile apps and nothing showed direct all went through vancouver, think im better off to phone. Agreed on the united and even delta prices are 3 times what westjet and air canada are!

We flew West Jet direct

Correction. Val tells me it was Edmonton to Van. Then Hawaii.

It did not seem bad at all.

That's why I figured we went direct because don't remember the stop.

That is by far the worst airport I have even been through. And have been through it many times. Just seems to get worse.

It sucks for us even more as they are set up for nexus but don't use it. Otherwise it would be a breeze to go theough

Did you have to change planes or just pick up passengers?

Looks like your screwed if you went in December you would have a direct flight WestJet announced today it has leased two Boeing 757-200 aircraft from Thomas Cook Airlines to deliver more non-stop, daytime service between Calgary and Honolulu and Maui, and between Edmonton and Maui.
Pending regulatory approval*, flights are scheduled to begin December 13, 2012, and continue through April 21, 2013. Details of WestJet's seasonal non-stop service include:​
Route Weekly frequency
Between Calgary and Honolulu Twice weekly
Between Calgary and Maui Four times weekly
Between Edmonton and Maui Three times weekly

We go again this Jan. I sure hope we can do the direct flight again. It was so nice leaving in the morning at getting there early afternoon instead of 11 midnight or like 1am.
