Roughly 2,550 miles separate Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), so a nonstop spends about 5h35 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. The nonstop award space in the data is split across Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A321neo, Boeing 767-300, and Airbus A330-200. Nonstops account for about 23% of the award options in the data.

Los Angeles–Honolulu is a domestic route, so the first question is whether to spend points at all. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on any of the four carriers at a higher price. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $6, below the route's typical economy taxes. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. Flexible bank points can reach Delta SkyMiles; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.

Delta SkyMiles takes economy at 7,700 points and first class at 58,600. American AAdvantage is cheapest in premium economy at 49,500 points. Etihad Guest wins business class at 60,000 points on an American Airlines nonstop. For a cross-check, Alaska Atmos Rewards and Air Canada Aeroplan price the route too. The cheapest program changes three times across the cabins, so match the program to the seat before moving points.

Four airlines show nonstop award space on Los Angeles–Honolulu: Alaska Airlines (oneworld), United Airlines (Star Alliance), American Airlines (oneworld), and Delta (SkyTeam). Partner programs in all three alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. The cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Seattle, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. In business class, the floor sits on American Airlines but books through Etihad Guest, a partner redemption.

About 2,550 miles, roughly 5h35 nonstop. Honolulu runs 3 hours behind Los Angeles (2 while Los Angeles is on standard time). Data covers October 2026–August 2027, with calendar prices for nine months. Counting well-covered months only, November 2026 is the cheapest (7,700 points); pricier months include March, May, and June 2027 (15,000).

For Los Angeles departures, Burbank (BUR) costs far more at 17,600 points in economy against the 7,700-point floor and isn't worth it unless LAX has nothing; Ontario (ONT) prices from 19,000. Related award routes at last check: San Francisco to Honolulu from 12,500 points and Los Angeles to Cancun from 9,000.
