With more people getting vaccinated, Hawaii sees a rise in domestic and inter-island travel By Jolanie Martinez | May 18, 2021 at 10:31 PM HST - Updated May 18 at 10:37 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The pent-up demand Hawaii economists have been predicting is coming to fruition with long lines at TSA and Safe Travels screening upon arrival.
Elfreda and Zachary Tyler who flew in Tuesday from Virginia said they spent 20 minutes in line for Safe Travels Screening.
But depending on the airlines, other travelers were given “pre-clear” wristbands.
“It was the entire terminal length, so I was very happy to have my wristband especially with my cat,” said Hannah Saunders, who also flew in from the mainland to move to Kauai.
