When was the last time you visited a place for its welcoming ambiance and genuine hospitality of its people? A tropical island paradise, Hawaii is not limited to its dramatic coastlines and coral reefs alone. To think that the place makes you feel at home for its warm aloha and mouth-watering food is all the more compelling!
Hawaiian Airlines have been a lifeline for people who regularly connect between Hawaii and the islands for essential services and work-related travel. At a time when the pandemic would have rendered life hard for many, they stood out for their exceptional service and hospitality.
Listen in to this episode of Hawaii’s Best as Bryan speaks with Jeff Helfrick, VP of Operations at Hawaiian Airlines, about their services during and after COVID and how the pandemic has affected its place and people. Jeff walks us through some essential information we need to keep in mind while planning a journey to the islands.
In this episode, we are reminded that although travel to Hawaii has reopened, the pandemic is not over yet. Please do not compromise on the pandemic rules of wearing a mask and practicing social distancing. Upon arrival in Hawaii, follow all the rules and regulations put forward by the authorities to keep the disease under control.
To experience the beautiful reset that the place has undergone during the virus, plan on spending time around quiet and refreshing areas. Soak in the beauty of Hawaii, for now, is when we don’t have a lot of people visiting the islands.
If you’re pumped up for a fantastic time in Hawaii any time soon, make sure you opt for the outstanding services provided by Hawaiian Airlines. They have partnered with the State of Hawaii and use the same technology as they do. This means that you won’t have to queue up when you land to have your QR code scanned. Hawaiian Airlines will pre-clear you and you won’t have to wait at the airport.
Upload all your information to Safe Travels; this includes your negative COVID tests from a trusted travel partner. Once you have it done, you’ll find yourself on the beach within moments!
