Flying from Seattle-Tacoma
Seattle-Tacoma is Alaska Airlines' principal hub and Delta's growing Pacific Northwest base. The Link Light Rail Red Line runs from the airport's elevated station directly to Westlake in downtown Seattle in 38 minutes for $3.25 — possibly the easiest big-city transfer in the country. International long-haul has expanded sharply post-2023 with new direct service to Tokyo, Seoul, Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Auckland. Weather delays are rare; SEA is one of the most operationally reliable winter airports in the US.
Arriving in Maui
Maui's Kahului Airport sits in the centre of the island, 3 miles from Kahului town and 25 miles from Lahaina. There is no rail or significant public transit on Maui — rideshare and rental cars dominate. Mainland US fares peak in summer and over Christmas–New Year; mid-September through October is reliably the cheapest window. Most flights are mainland US direct or inter-island via Hawaiian Airlines from HNL.
