hawaii travel package, flight to hawaii If you have booked a Hawaii travel package to Honolulu this summer then you are going to be seeing a new addition to the Honolulu Airport. The Hawaii State Department of Health felt a flu testing system was needed within the airport for all traveling on Hawaiian Airlines.

The flu testing pilot took place for 149 passengers that were landing on the island with Hawaiian Airlines. In less than 11 minutes, all travelers who had bought a flight to Hawaii were tested proving that this is an efficient and important new program.

There is no word when the flu testing system will officially open up in the Honolulu Airport but the Deputy Chief of the DOH Outbreak Control Division was very happy with the results. Back in 2005, a similar system was tested in Hawaiian airports.

Since visitors and residents of the islands are water locked it is very important that diseases do not enter into or leave Hawaii without some kind of preventive measures. I imagine that all who received a free flu test in a matter of seconds were extremely happy to oblige. Yet another incentive to book a Hawaiian airline ticket.
