Post-pandemic, golf has seen a resurgence in Hawaii as people seek out less crowded spaces. Oahu’s courses are often packed, making the Neighbor Islands an ideal destination for golfers. Inter island travel is available via both scheduled airline flights and private charters, with luxurious private golf packages readily accessible. Through the end of 2024, The Four Seasons Resort Lanai is offering a staycation plan that includes round-trip charter flights between Honolulu International Airport and Lanai Airport.

Partnering with Lanai Air, the resort ensures a seamless travel experience with charter aircraft accommodating up to eight passengers. Upon arriving at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on Oahu, Lanai Air staff will greet you and escort you to the exclusive Lanai Air lounge on the tarmac. Unlike commercial flights, there is no need to wait in line for X-ray inspection or baggage checkin, making the boarding process smooth and efficient. Your luggage will be taken care of and delivered directly to your guest room.

After relaxing in the lounge, you’ll embark on a comfortable 30-minute flight to Lanai.

The Lanai Air aircraft, operated by two pilots, features a compact yet high-quality interior for a very comfortable flight. Passengers can bring their own luggage, such as a bottle of prestige champagne, if they wish.

Upon landing, a Tesla SUV shuttle will be waiting to take you from the airport to the Four Seasons Resort Lanai and the golf clubhouse. This seamless chartered aircraft service offers the most comfortable and convenient way to travel between the islands.
