Wow, we just got wind of this (thanks Hawaii Magazine). Alaska Airlines is offering flights from several mainland locations during the “Hawaii Now” airfare promotion on one-way tickets from the mainland to Hawaii!!! Now thats some cheap airfare.

You have to book your tickets by Aug. 15, 2010 and travell between Aug. 23 and Nov. 10, 2010. However, even though there are limited seats available during this deal, the deal is good from 37 cities on the mainland including Portland, San Jose, Seattle, San Diego, and can get you into Honolulu on Oahu, Kona on the Big Island, Kahalui on Maui and Lihue on Kauai.

Now the prices we saw were from $149 to $229 with Portland to Honolulu and Portland to Maui being the cheapest flights. Even for $229 each way (Boise to Maui) that’s pretty cheap! You can check out full fares and details at Alaska Airlines Site.

For those of you inter-island travelers, you probably kept tabs on the merger between Go! and Mokulele Airlines. And you’ve probably wondered if it was going to mean higher fares for your weekend trips to the outer islands or back to Oahu. Well, it looks like for now, Go! Airlines is sticking by their $39 one-way tickets by offering the cheapest flights to the island of Lanai we’ve seen in a while.

It looks like the newly merged airline will offer ticket prices between Honolulu and Lana’i for $39 if you travel between May 20th and August 31st. The only blackout dates are Fridays, so if you’re going for the weekend, you gotta start earlier it looks like. Nice! Aloha Thursdays. Tickets must be purchased by April 16th.

The airline will be offering two flights daily roundtrip from Honolulu to Lanai. A great boost for those that thought the added ticket price, to the already pricey stay at the Four Seasons Hotels on Lanai was just too much.

For all HawaiianMiles members who fly interisland now through the end of 2009 they can earn discounted or free  flights to the mainland.  For every qualifying round trip interisland flight members can earn a 10% discount on a future flight to the mainland.  Members can earn up to two free roundtrip tickets each to any of the 10 West Coast cities Hawaiian Airlines flies.

When booking interisland flights members will simply enter their HawaiianMiles number and Hawaiian will automatically track discounts.  The earning periods for interisland travel are August 3, 2009 to December 31, 2009.  Booking and travel to the mainland using the discounts must be during August 3, 2009 to June 15, 2010.  Qualifying interisland flights must be prior to 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m. in a fare class that is eligible for HawaiianMiles earnings.

When Go! Airlines came in they were offering cheap flights all the time. $29 and $39 fares to all the Hawaiian islands. It was finally cheap to get out of town for a weekend and explore.

But with rising gas prices and lawsuits all the Hawaii based airlines began to raise their prices. Soon we were back paying over $150 to take the 20 minute flight from Honolulu to Maui. Prices have even been observed over $200 depending on when you fly.

However, we may finally be seeing prices come back to the price wars that showed Hawaii $2 ticket prices. The price for a gallon of gas is coming down, consumer prices are dropping everywhere and Go! Airlines is finally giving us one-way tickets at less than $30 again.

That’s right, you can get a ticket from Honolulu to Maui, Honolulu to Kauai, or Honolulu to The Big Island for $27. Of course you have to fly at select times, and the prices are only valid for Tags: Air Travel, Airfare, go! Airlines, Plane Tickets
