So You Want to Escape to Hawaii, But How Far Exactly is Escape?

Because let's be honest, even paradise gets a little dull after a six-month-long swim.

| How Many Miles From Portland To Hawaii |
Miles or Mahalo?
Here's the skinny: depending on which Portland you're starting from (there's one in Oregon and one in Maine, folks!), the distance to Hawaii (specifically Honolulu, because that's where most of the action is) can vary.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Portland, Oregon to Honolulu, Hawaii: Buckle up for a trip of roughly 2,600 miles (4,189 kilometers). That's about the same distance as driving from New York City to Los Angeles... twice!
Portland, Maine to Honolulu, Hawaii: You've got a bit farther to shoot - we're talking 5,100 miles (8,219 kilometers). So yeah, maybe pack a few extra snacks for this one.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is)
Don't forget, these are straight-line distances. In the real world, you'll be flying over the Pacific Ocean, which isn't exactly a highway with a handy rest stop. Expect the actual flight path to be a little longer, somewhere around 6 hours.
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
Hawaii Here We Come (Hopefully)!
So, there you have it. The answer to your burning question (and maybe a slight dent in your travel dreams). But hey, distance is just a number, right? And with a little planning (and maybe a frequent flyer program), you could be sipping that mai tai sooner than you think!
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
