You must use a super midsize jet (or larger) to travel from Hawaii to Los Angeles or Vancouver, because you’ll require a non-stop flight as there is nowhere to stop in between. So, your aircraft must have a range exceeding five hours.
Super midsize jets usually have a range of six hours or more. This is ideal for a trip like Hawaii to LA, which is around five hours. For example, you could fly in a Citation X. It’s fast and has eight comfortable captain's chairs.
But it’s a long flight, so you might prefer a flat-floor cabin. For this, you could choose an aircraft like a Challenger 300, Challenger 350, or Falcon 2000. It’s easier to move around the cabin, so you’ll feel less claustrophobic. Or you could opt for a large jet with a flight attendant and a closed cabin to sleep in.
Bear in mind that super midsize jets are the more cost-effective option.
Is Federal Excise Tax (FET) applicable on flights to or from Hawaii?
When you charter a flight to or from Hawaii you will have to pay Federal Excise Tax (FET) but it’s not expensive. FET ends about five miles off the coastline on either side; in between is considered international waters, and there is no tax applicable.
If you’re flying from Hawaii to an international destination, you won’t have to pay FET. For example, on a flight from Hawaii to Edmonton in Canada, there’s no FET.
