If you were to get a direct flight from Pierre, SD to Honolulu it would be approx. 8 Hrs 33 Min, but I tend to think there are not many direct flights so more then likely you would be stopping in California. So the flight from Pierre to LAX would be approx. 3 Hrs 34 Min then to continue on from LAX to Honolulu it would be approx. 6 Hrs 21 Min.

I flew to Hawaii, the most gorgeous place on earth, from New jersey, and that flight was about 10-11 hours. From South Dakota, I would estimate about 9 hours. Enjoy your trip! You'll never want to leave lol

Assuming that you have just ONE Stop- in California, -anywhere's from 10 to 14 hours (so book that Flight- CAREFULLY!).

roughly 13-14 hours my guess...with one stop in cali or something. I'm estimating flight time, not layover time.

For sure there is no direct flight.

Your local airfield in SD to LAX around 3 hours. Allow 2 hours between flights the LAX to HNL about 5 hours.

Total10 hours.

Have fun Hawaii is a Hoot of fun.

yeah i agree about 11-12 hours ..it depends on the airline your taking

That obviously depends on what sort of aircraft you are using, or whether indeed you are using an aircraft at all.

Some things like tiny seeds or the spores of fungi might take years to complete that journey.

nonstop.. at least 8 or 9 hours.
nonstop from seattle to london takes 9 hours, and that's roughly the same distance.

It mainly depends upon the flight route and type of airplane that you will be flying on, among a number of other factors such as weather and layovers. It is wisest to check with your airline carrier for flight times always vary! For example, my brother has taken a flight from Chicago to Nashville that lasted only 45 minutes. However, my flight from Chicago to Nashville lasted 1 1/2 hours + 30 minutes due to bad weather.=2 hours!

Having flown to Hawaii once, it took us about 14 hours to fly from Nashville, TN to the island of Maui, Hawaii, not including layovers.

My best advice to you is to book an early morning flight! In this way, you will be less affected by layovers (flight delays), and it will allow you more time to adjust to Hawaii's time zone once you arrive there. It is highly likely that you will experience "jetlag", as my family did, so make sure to get plenty of rest. Depending on the time that you will be leaving South Dakota and arriving in Hawaii, sleep only as you would if you were already on Hawaii's time. This will greatly help you! Therefore, only sleep on the plane if you would be it you were already in Hawaii.

Also, make sure to use sunscreen in Hawaii! I know that that may sound funny, but you will get a nice tan as long as you go outside for a little while! =) Having a suntan while flying in an aircraft's pressurized environment (cabin) while being thousands of feet in the air does not feel good!

=) If you go to Hawaii, you will surely have one of, if not the, best experiences of your life!

++some eXXtra Tips and Info! =)

P.S. * If you DO fly to Hawaii, you will be required to sign a type of form while still on the airplane. This indicates that you are not bringing something, such as a snake, that is not allowed to be brought into the state of Hawaii. While it's usually no matter of concern, make sure that you are abiding by the rules, and know the proper, basic information that you are to fill in. No one will leave the airplane until all forms have been signed and turned in to the working flight attendant.

*ALSO, when you leave Hawaii, you will have your baggage placed through a type of "Customs" check. You are not allowed to take anything from the island (such as live plants, etc.). (Check websites for further information.)

*One last thing to mention..you can NOT take a pineapple from Hawaii unless it is properly packaged. This is not cheap, but there are certain places in the airport where you can buy a pineapple and have it properly packaged for the flight.

I have visited the island of Maui, Hawaii, only a few years ago. If you have any further questions OR would like any more information about flying, flying to Hawaii, OR fun things to do if you're visiting Maui, feel free to e-mail me, and I will do my best in order to reply! =)

Okay, using Pierre as the board point:

United Airlines
Journey time: 13:19
PIR-DEN
DEN-SFO
SFO-HNL

United Airlines
Journey Time: 14:16
PIR-DEN
DEN-LAX
LAX-HNL

Northwest or Delta
Journey Time: 13:08
PIR-MSP
MSP-HNL

Time of day, board/off point and connection cities will all make a difference.
