Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from General Rivadeneira Airport (ESM) to KOA last minute?
When it's time to book your flights, it's always better to be prepared. While you could find a deal on a Colonel Carlos Concha Torres Airport to Kona Intl. Airport (KOA) flight at the last minute, prices usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to lock in a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days ahead. For international journeys it's three to four months.
What airports do you fly into for Kailua-Kona from Esmeraldas?
From Esmeraldas, you can travel to Kailua-Kona via Kona Intl. Airport (KOA), Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUE) and Upolu Point, HI (UPP-Upolu). Be sure to check which hub is best for you before you make a decision. If you pick Kona Intl. Airport (KOA), it's roughly 11 kilometers northwest of the city center. Use the dough you save when booking your ticket with Expedia to tour the city's top sights, such as Kailua Pier and Kona Brewing Company.
