COVID-19 Updates
As of July 8th, the State of Hawaii began granting quarantine exceptions to travelers on domestic flights (from U.S. states and territories) who uploaded proof of full vaccination (2 Moderna or Pfizer shots or one Johnson & Johnson shot plus 15 days) received within the 50 states and U.S. territories. Unfortunately, there is still confusion, so please stress to your customers that to qualify for this exception, they must do the following prior to departure:
- Create a Safe Travels Hawaii online account (https://travel.hawaii.gov) including their trip information, and
- Upload the required vaccination documentation to their Safe Travels Hawaii account
Details on the vaccination exception program should be checked regularly at: https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel/faqs/.
Unfortunately, a large portion of the travelers arriving at Hawaii airports expecting the Vaccination Exception are arriving without completing #’s 1 and 2 above. To ease their arrival experience please make sure that in your communications to your clients this requirement is reinforced.
