Most airlines don't even let you ship animals in the summer because of heat issues.
I've shipped animals to and from Hawaii a few times, used United. Personally, I always fly on the same flight as the animals (even if it meant extra work to find the best airfare for me AND them or sucking it up & paying more than the cheapest possible flight). There is so much that can go wrong with flight delays etc. and the animals are already stressed out, adding time in the heat due to delays, etc. wouldn't be good.
Am assuming the dogs have gone thru all the steps for quarintine? That process has to start a few months before they get on a plane.....or else they'll have a nice visit in Honolulu for a while.....
