A L O H A !

Some important things to note:

Being that our wedding date is Wednesday, 9/24/14, I would try to make sure that you get here a couple of days before the wedding. We are trying to arrange a group activity on 9/22/14, and would love if most could join in.

There are a couple other very small airports on Maui, but the airport you want to fly into is Kahului, or airport code OGG.

We will try to greet as many people as we possibly can at the airport, but since there are a lot of factors at play, please note that Maui’s Public transit system is pretty much non-existent. Also, cabs aren’t necessarily readily available, and are super duper pricy if you do get one…so your best bet is to get a rental car straight away. The cheapest (and pretty much most awesome car rental company, due to the fact that they have a number of friendly cats hanging in and around the rental office) is Kihei Rent-a-Car. They are located in Kihei (pronounced Key-hay), not at the airport, but they do offer pickup service. They are AWESOME and during the summer season, have cars at $130 a week! Keep in mind, Kihei Rent-a-Car mostly rents “Maui cruisers” or beat-up, ugly cars. You won’t travel in luxury if you rent from there. The other car companies gouge you and try to up-sell you at every angle. 

*Please note that Hopper refers to the city you are flying into as Paia (Pie-ee-uh). Paia is a little town near the airport, but not where you are flying into.

 Here are some of the Hopper statistics first, for Cleveland (CLE) to Kahului (pronounced Kah-who-louie), Maui (OGG):

These reports were generated from www.hopper.com, using their third option on the right side of the screen, called When to Fly and Buy. When you do it from home, you can actually click on the “Find Flights” part of the report and allow you to put in specific dates for real flight options. Nice. Keep us up to date with what deals you find. We will gladly share them here to spread the word!
