Live flight status and push alerts for any Hawaii-bound flight. Free, email-only, powered by FlightAware.
Enter a flight number below to see live status (departure time, gate, delays, arrival time) and sign up for push alerts. Alerts are free, email-only, and fire on every meaningful state change: filed, departure, schedule change, 30 minutes out, arrival, diversions, and cancellations.
Track a Flight
Enter a flight number (airline code + number, e.g. HA50 or UA1000) to see the current status and get push alerts.
Want to see the whole picture instead of a single flight? Every Hawaiian airport has its own live board. Arrivals show the next 20 inbound flights with gate and estimated time; departures show the next 20 scheduled out.
Tracking a flight is just one piece of arrival day. These guides cover airfare, choosing the right airport, and what to do in your first hour after landing:
Our alerts are push-based, not polling. We register your flight with FlightAware the moment you subscribe, and FlightAware sends us a webhook every time the flight's state changes. We verify the token, dedupe on a synthetic delivery key, and fire an email through our notification pipeline — so you hear about delays and gate changes within a minute or two of the carrier actually reporting them to FAA.
What you will get:
Filed. The carrier has filed a flight plan — confirmation that your flight is on today's schedule.
Departure. Wheels up.
Schedule change. Any update to scheduled or estimated times, or a gate change.
30 minutes out. Heads up — head to baggage claim or start driving to the airport.
Arrival. Wheels down.
Diverted. The flight has been routed to a different airport.
Cancelled. The flight has been cancelled by the airline.
Your email is only used to send you alerts for flights you subscribe to. We do not share it, and every alert email includes an unsubscribe link that removes you from the list for that flight immediately. We do not charge for alerts — FlightAware bills us a small amount per registered alert, and we absorb that cost because a working flight board is part of a good travel guide.
Why not just use the airline app?
The airline's own app is great once your ticket is linked, but it only tracks flights on your account. Our tracker works for any flight, which is useful when you are picking someone up, watching a connection, or running a rental car reservation window against an unfamiliar inbound. We also tend to see schedule changes a few minutes before the carrier app pushes them, because the carrier app waits for the airline's internal publishing system — we get the event the moment it hits FAA/FlightAware.
Trade winds are strong right now, with high surf hitting the south shore today. Windward areas are seeing frequent showers through the weekend.
South-facing beaches have dangerous surf today through Sunday—stay out of the water unless you're an experienced swimmer. East-facing shores will build rough water by Sunday or Monday. The bigger picture is a tropical system, Fausto, heading our way. It's weakening but should arrive near the islands by Tuesday or Wednesday as a tropical storm or weaker system, bringing strong winds, rough seas, and heavy rain. The exact track is still uncertain, so check the forecast daily.
Get your beach time and water activities in today through early next week on the leeward side, where conditions stay calmer. Be ready to shift plans by midweek when conditions turn rough.

Windy conditions across Maui right now, with trade winds gusting strong. South-facing shores have high surf today and will see another big swell Saturday and Sunday—the water's dangerous unless you're an experienced ocean swimmer.
Through the weekend, windward areas will get frequent showers while trade winds stay gusty. The bigger picture arrives midweek: Hurricane Fausto is weakening as it moves toward the islands and should reach Maui as a tropical storm or weaker system Tuesday or Wednesday. That'll bring rough seas, strong winds, and heavy rain. Track and timing are still uncertain, so check updates daily.
Hit the leeward beaches and snorkel south Maui coasts today through early next week, but stay out of windward and south-facing waters through Sunday.

Windy conditions dominate right now with strong trade winds pushing across the island. South-facing shores have high surf today—dangerous water if you're not an experienced swimmer.
Through the weekend, those south shores see another big swell Saturday and Sunday, and east-facing shores will build dangerous conditions by Sunday or Monday. Windward areas get frequent showers. A tropical system—the remnants of Hurricane Fausto—is weakening and headed toward the islands as a tropical storm or weaker system by Tuesday or Wednesday, bringing rough seas, strong winds, and heavy rain midweek. Timing and track are still uncertain, so check updates daily.
Leeward beaches on the Kona side stay your best bet today through early next week, but avoid the water on the windward and south shores through Sunday.

Strong trade winds are pushing showers across windward areas through the weekend. On Kauaʻi, expect frequent showers on the windward side.
High surf is running on south-facing shores today and will build again Saturday and Sunday—stay out of the water unless you're an experienced swimmer. East-facing shores will also see dangerous swell by Sunday or Monday. Hurricane Fausto is weakening as it moves toward Hawaii. By Tuesday or Wednesday it should reach the islands as a tropical storm or weaker system, bringing rough seas, strong winds, and heavy rain. Track and timing are still uncertain, so check updates daily through midweek.
Beach time on leeward shores works through early next week. Plan water activities for today, but be ready to shift if Fausto's track becomes clearer—conditions will deteriorate by midweek.
