How long would it take for a flight from Richmond Virginia to Maui?

Answer 1

The actual time would depend on head winds and the number of stops your selected airline would have along the way. Actual air time would be about 5 hours across the continental U.S., and about another 5 hours from the west coast to Maui. Typically you will be bucking a head wind flying west, which could easily add another hour. So you could figure on 10-11 hours typical air time, and then you would have to add about 1-2 hours for any stop or change of planes. For example if you landed and changed planes once your total airplane transit time could be around 13 hours from when you depart the airport. If you add 3 hours to get to the airport from your home before departure, and 1 hour to get to the place you are staying from the airport, your total elapsed time from leaving your house till you arrive at your condo or hotel would be about 17 hours.

In the Winter you would have a 5 hour time difference (6 hours in the Summer since Hawaii does not go on daylight saving time), thus for this example by the local time of day you would arrive at your destination in Maui around 12 clock hours after you leave your house.
