The rule is that you have to get tested within 72 hours of your departure to Hawai’i. (I didn’t, and nobody ever asked.) You do have to upload a COVID test result, that I know. As you can see, it says you can upload a current picture, but nowhere does it actually say that’s something you need to do.

Under Documents is where you need to upload some things. Yes, that’s still an option if you don’t want to test. And the Daily Check-ins, well, I assume that’s just for the people who don’t get tested and do the 14-day quarantine instead. The Health Questionnaire, despite being second, cannot be accessed until you’re within 24 hours of your trip. If you don’t create a trip, you can’t do anything else. This means adding your dates, your flights, where you’re staying, etc. In the portal, there are four different options:įirst, you have to create your trip. You start by filling out personal details about yourself, and then you’re ready. Only kids can be tagged on to a parent account. You must create a separate account for each adult in your family. When you go to, you’re prompted to create an account if you haven’t previously. The best plan is to start with the State of Hawaii’s Safe Travels portal. Since Hawaiian was flying me out, I started with their testing options, but I wouldn’t recommend beginning with that. You can find details just about anywhere. Airlines have put together their own guides. I’d like to be able to tell you how the process starts, but there isn’t actually one place to begin. It’s confusing, time-consuming, and not traveler-friendly… yet. Unfortunately, the state’s program needs a lot of work. After all, I’m hopeful that a testing regime will be the way out of this mess sooner rather than later, so I wanted to experience it for myself. But when Hawai’i opened up its pre-testing program and Hawaiian Airlines asked if I wanted to come try it out, I thought it was worth doing. Since travel can help spread COVID - I don’t mean flying so much, but just taking your germs somewhere else - I hesitated to get on an airplane for a long time. For the first time since January, I found myself on an airplane.
