How far in advance should I get tested?
Under the State of Hawaii Pre-Travel Testing Program travelers will have to test negative for COVID-19 no more than 72 hours before your flight departure time in Hawaii to qualify for the quarantine exemption. Therefore, you need to schedule a test no sooner than 3 days prior to your arrival in Hawaii to be within the 72-hour window. We recommend scheduling your test between 1-2 days in advance of the arrival time of your flight. There is also a same-day express option for an extra cost, but spaces are limited and restrictions apply.
