I normally fly Hawaiian Airlines to Kahului, Maui and then drive the 40 minute drive to Kapalua. With limited time on this trip I decided to book Mokulele Airlines because they have direct flights from Honolulu to Kapalua. Kapalua is on the West side of Maui North of Lahaina and Kaanapali.
When flying Mokulele out of Honolulu you check in at the Honolulu Airport Commuter Terminal which is adjacent to the Main Terminal. The Commuter Terminal has its own parking lot which is very convenient. Once you park your car, check in is a breeze as at the Commuter Terminal because there are usually little or no lines and security clearance while thorough is pretty quick. Once thing you need to do on Mokulele is declare your weight. In Kapalua they actually place you and your bags on a scale and get the actual weight in case you lied about a few extra pounds. There is little communication between the airline and the passengers while you wait for your flight. A quick PA announcement and then a airline representative appears and announces your name. Each passenger is assigned a row based on weight balance for the aircraft. Mokulele flies 9 seat Cessna Grand Caravan's which are small twin prop planes with a crew of two. The Co-Pilot greets you at the door and then pops his head out of the cockpit to give you safety instructions. The preflight check is quick and then you are in the air. We flew on a clear and sunny day so the flight was smooth both ways. The flight takes around 45 minutes and the views are amazing. Flying these small planes can make me feel uneasy when it gets bumpy but our flights and landings were really smooth. I took in the sights and enjoyed the ride on Mokulele.
