Watching the news this morning before going to work, I was surprised to hear another interisland price war among the 3 major interisland airlines. Today, Hawaiian, Aloha and go! Airlines are offering a $19 one way ticket to the interislands as long as your purchase the ticket today.

What are the restrictions for such a low price? Well, the ticket must be purchase today on the respective internet site, and the fares are only good for travel from now until July 12th. The only problem is that we don’t know how many seats are good for this $19 fare. As with the $2 fare offered by go! Airlines, there were only a few seats available for each flight out.

So if you are planning on flying to the interislands soon, maybe for July 4th, or just because, make sure you log on to each airlines’ respective website and book your trip today. Seeing how go! Airlines’ website crashed during their $2 special, the sooner you book, the better.

I just can’t see how any of these airlines make any money. The only thing I can see from the price war is to take the hit now, commit customers to their airline, and bankrupt the opposing airlines. Otherwise, strategically, this will only make them lose more and more money. Oh well, I guess at least it’s good for us. Take advantage of it while you can!
