Narrative:

At XA58 after receiving IFR clearance from lih to hnl with a void time of XB10, lih tower announced terminating operations somewhat earlier than XB00. We taxied out, took off, contacted ZHN 126.50 where the controller did not know that we were coming his way. He asked for our transponder code and flight number. He then cleared us direct and said he would speak to lih tower about letting him know ahead of time. Lih tower is not overly focused on wkend nights close to their XB00 closing. This was a communication error only since no other aircraft were involved.
