Ok, here the thing, if we talking bout regular schedule airlines, like Hawaiian, or American, then it gonna take bout 6 hours to fly from San Diego to Honolulu, and it about 2600 miles, or 2250 nautical miles, ok? Now most airliner cruise at bout .81 mach, although some go little slower, and some little faster, ok? Also, prevailing wind at altitude most airliner fly at from east to west, so you gonna fight that wind while fly to Honolulu, yeah? Now at bout 35 k feet that speed bout 535 mph, so that esplain why it take bout 6, 6 and 1/2 hours to get to Hawaii, ok? Now, you got faster plane, then you get hea faster, yeah? Peace and aloha to you, and come soon to visit, ok? Oh, and otha answerer says San Diego closer to Honolulu, that not correct, ok? Sacremento bout 2460 miles, san diego almost 150 miles FARTHER away, ok? Remember San Fran closest US City to Honolulu, cause of shape of earth and Cali coast, ok?

Kono Kohako is correct that you fly into a headwind (the "Westerlies") during the first part of the trip to Hawaii, so getting there takes longer than getting back (you have the wind at your back on the way home). I do think he is a bit pessimistic about the time. I regularly fly to Oahu from Sacramento on Hawaiian, and it's around 5 hours, sometimes a bit longer, depending on the wind. Since San Diego is closer to Hawaii than Sacramento, it should not take longer from there.
