FAQ

About Kids

May I book a reservation with children on www.mokuleleairlines.com?

We have made changes to our Children and Unaccompanied Children program. The current rules and policies can be found in our Contract of Carriage, Rule 10 (Acceptance Of Children and Infants).

Reservations with children under the age of 18 can be made via our website but only if booked at the same time with an adult who is 18 years of age or older. The system will validate ages. Please do not ‘fudge’ ages, as we impose a fee of $100.00 if ages are fraudulently given. You can also ring our Call Center at (808) 495-4188 to make reservations for both adults and children.

To make a reservation just for child/ren (under 18 years of age), please see the next item What are the terms for Unaccompanied Minors.
