It's five to six hours from the west coast to Hawaii, depending on the winds and such. But any more 737/757 and A320's are the 'norm' between the US mainland (especially near the west coast) and Hawaii (Hawaiian uses 767/A330s, planning to switch to 787s in the future, but they are the exception). And yes, it's a long flight on a 737...
