A year ago, travelers from Boston enjoyed nonstop flights to Hawaii. That changed when Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Airlines cut their services. But here’s some exciting news: Delta is bringing back its Boston to Honolulu flights this winter!
Starting this December, Delta will resume service from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). This route will be America’s longest domestic flight, making it a convenient option for holiday travelers.
In addition to the Boston route, Delta will also offer nonstop flights from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to Maui starting December 19, 2025. This service fills the gap for travelers looking to escape winter’s chill for Hawaii’s warm beaches.
Delta plans to operate the Boston-Honolulu route four times a week, ramping up to daily flights during peak holiday periods. The aircraft will be the Airbus A330-300, which features 34 lie-flat Delta One seats and 21 Delta Premium Select seats—ideal for a comfortable journey.
Interestingly, historical context shows how important these routes are for airlines. In recent years, the demand for travel to Hawaii has surged, especially post-pandemic. A recent study by Airlines for America revealed that leisure travel is recovering faster than expected, with many families looking to book vacations. Travelers are eager to return, and airlines are responding by ramping up their services.
Delta isn’t stopping with just these routes. They plan to expand their Hawaiian services to include more flights from Atlanta, Detroit, and New York. This expansion reflects the growing trend of travelers seeking tropical getaways, especially during the winter months.
Loyal Delta SkyMiles members should keep an eye on bookings, as award availability is likely to change. The good news? If plans change, canceling your ticket (except for “basic” awards) can lead to a full refund of miles and fees.
Overall, with these new routes and expanded services, passengers can look forward to more options to escape the cold and bask in Hawaii’s sun this winter. Whether heading to the beaches or exploring Hawaiian culture, this is a perfect time for planning a getaway.
