Safe Travels & Point of Entry in Hawaii Beginning June 15

• All trans-Pacific travelers from the continental United States (CONUS) will have only one QR code or one Point of Entry (POE) beginning Tuesday, June 15.
• Beginning June 15, there will no longer be any county screening, only the main CONUS screening at each airport in Hawaii.
• Trans-Pacific CONUS (includes Alaska and US Territories) travelers who were fully vaccinated in Hawaii can qualify for an exception to quarantine without taking a pre-travel test.

What does this mean?

• Trans-Pacific CONUS travelers will only need one QR code even if they are arriving at one airport and connecting to another island.
  • Traveler will enter only their POE flight and receive one QR code.
  • Example: LAX -> HNL -> LIH, traveler enters only the LAX -> HNL flight in their Safe Travels account. The resulting QR code will be scanned at HNL (unless pre-cleared prior to departure) which is their first POE, and traveler will use this on Kauai to rent a car, check into the hotel, participate in an activity, etc.
• All Hawaii airports will be executing this POE scan for all arriving trans-Pacific flights.
• Trans-Pacific CONUS travelers who were fully vaccinated in Hawaii – 2 shots of Pfizer or Moderna, or the single Johnson and Johnson shot – plus 14 days can upload their CDC vaccination card to their Safe Travels account to qualify for an exception to the 10-day quarantine without needing to take a pre-travel COVID test. At least one of the vaccination shots must have been taken in Hawaii. The CDC card must show date of shot, manufacturer and lot number, and location where shot was administered.

Inter-island Travel AFTER First Point of Entry

• This change is timed to coincide with the lifting of ALL inter-county and interisland travel restrictions. Beginning June 15, interisland travelers will no longer be required to create a trip itinerary in Safe Travels for inter-county travel, and neither a pre-travel test nor proof of vaccination will be required.
• We need your help to communicate this change to your clients regarding updated travel protocols to ensure travelers are participating in Safe Travels and are COVID negative.
