Overview
Depart
You must arrive in Honolulu Saturday and stay overnight in Honolulu. On Sunday morning you will depart early for your HNL – MAJ flight, and arrive in the Marshall Islands on Monday 10:35AM (the date change is because of the dateline).
The most important thing is to get to the Honolulu airport on time! United closes the check-in about an hour before and will not let you in. We suggest getting there at 5AM. You’ll be greeted by Indies Trader staff, and board the domestic flight to the outer atoll. Upon arrival to the outer atoll, you’ll be greeted again by staff on the coral runway and escorted to the boat, which will take you to the Island.
Return
On your return, you will checkout Monday morning, and have a chance to surf, before boating over to the runway. You will board the A.M.I. flight and arrive in Majuro, where you will fly to Honolulu at 7:40pm and then connecting to an early morning flight back to the mainland.
