Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Kahului to Kamuela. The takeoff climb-out from Kahului provides superior scenic value with immediate views of the Pailolo Channel, Molokai, and West Maui's volcanic mass. While the landing approach offers good views of Kohala and the inter-volcano saddle, the takeoff sequence is more visually dramatic and sustained.

During takeoff from Kahului (OGG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer immediate views of the West Maui volcanic complex and the channel between Maui and Molokai as the aircraft climbs out northwestward from Kahului. Left seats face inland toward the less dramatic central valley terrain. Notable sights include: West Maui volcano (Pu'u Kukui massif), Pailolo Channel separating Maui and Molokai, Kahalawai Mountains, Kahului Bay.

When landing at Waimea Kohala (MUE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach to Waimea-Kohala, showing the saddle between Kohala and Mauna Kea volcanoes and the North Kohala peninsula's dramatic sea cliffs. Right seats face away from the approach corridor. Notable sights include: Kohala volcano and north cliffs, Mauna Kea (snow-capped peak visible on clear days), Waipio Valley, Hilo side windward slopes.

The flight from Kahului (OGG) to Waimea Kohala (MUE) takes 0h 25m.

Pailolo Channel (Maui-Molokai strait), West Maui volcano slopes, transition across the inter-island waters toward the Big Island's northern coast, Kohala volcano's northern cliffs, Mauna Kea's leeward slopes
