Hawaiian Airlines is gearing up for its busy winter season by increasing flights between Seoul and Honolulu.

In a just released statement, the airline says it will operate daily non-stop service between Incheon International Airport and Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport from January 14 through February 6.

The increased flights for the season are aimed at offering travelers more flexibility and convenience when planning their Hawaiian vacation, the airline said in a statement.

"Our daily flights will help us meet increased demand by Korean travelers seeking our authentic Hawaiian flight experience on their way to a warm and relaxing getaway," Soojin Yu, South Korea country director at Hawaiian Airlines, said. "We are very pleased to increase our service so we may welcome aboard even more guests during the popular Lunar New Year holiday."

Hawaiian already operates five weekly flights between Seoul and Honolulu and has carried more than 800,000 guests between Incheon and Honolulu since launching the service in January 2011.

The route is served by the airline's Airbus A330 aircraft, which offers three inflight experiences, including a Premium Cabin with full lie-flat seating, Extra Comfort premium economy and a main cabin.

Hawaiian's inbound flights from South Korea also include island-inspired meals created by acclaimed chef Chang-Wook Chung of Kumsan Restaurant in Seoul.
