Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

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.

Go! Mokulele Airlines Open Cheap Route to Lanai

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

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.

Go! Airlines Offers Cheap Flights Again

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

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: , , ,

Aloha Airlines No More

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Due to fuel prices and interisland competitor go! Airlines, Aloha Airlines has gone out of business. Their last flight, number 261, touched down last night from Kahului on Maui. This is a sad day for Aloha, since they’ve been running business for the past 61 years.

Personally, I’ve been a big fan of Aloha Airlines. The staff was always courteous, and always do give the Aloha spirit. Although I don’t normally fly to the other islands, I was glad I was able to support Aloha during my flights there. I do like Hawaiian as well, but I haven’t flown with go! Airlines. But, I’m sure that Aloha supporters will have much animosity towards go! Airlines, and that is well understood, as go! was able to insert themselves and take business away from Aloha and other competing airlines. Will go! suffer business-wise? Probably in the next few weeks with the departure of Aloha being on the news everyday since their announcement. But in the longrun, I’m sure the cheap prices from go! will be enough to get people to ride with them.

I would like to close saying “aloha” to Aloha, and thanks for serving Hawaii and their residents for a great 61 years.

Will go! Airlines Be Out?

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

A federal judge ruled today for Hawaiian Airlines. Mesa, the parent company of go! Airlines was told today they would need to pay Hawaiian Airlines $80 million for mis-using confidential bankruptcy information to gain a competitive advantage over other inter-island carriers.

This could mean the price of interisland flights will increase back to pre-go! days. If that’s so, which Hawaiian Airlines CEO has said will happen to interisland flight prices that could mean good news for the Hawaii Superferry depending on how it’s travel schedule pans out. Either way, cheap flights may be a thing of the past if this ruling holds.

Mesa has yet to comment on how the ruling will affect go! Airlines inter-island travel.

Interisland Flight Prices Will Go Up

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

In an article over at Star Bulletin we read some quotes that we thought might interest some interisland travelers.

The quotes came from Hawaiian Airlines top dog, CEO and President Mark Dunkerley as he explained to a backruptcy judge what would happen if go! airlines were to leave interisland travel. The article states that he says his “company would return to pricing air tickets reasonably to cover the actual costs of transportation.”

Now we don’t know how much the increase would be but we would imagine our days of $19 flights, just announced this morning would be long gone.

The news comes as go! airlines battles it’s lawsuit from Hawaiian Airlines which could cost Mesa Air (go!’s parent company) $173 million and bar them from selling tickets in the islands for one year.

Who knows what will happen but it sounds like you should think about getting your interisland travel in soon.

$19 Interisland Flights Are Back

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

It’s that time again. The airlines are battling for your business.

go! airlines and Hawaiian airlines are offering one-way interisland flights for $19. You have to fly between now and November 30th and you must purchase your ticket by 11:59 pm tonight.

Get em fast because probably by the time I’m done typing this half of the flights will be gone.

$9 Inter-Island Flights, One Day Only

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

For one day only Aloha Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and go! Airlines will be offering one-way $9 inter-island flights. You must purchase tickets by midnight tonight, so if you’re reading this, you’re already on your computer, head over to one of those airlines sites and book!

The only catch is that the flight must occur by the end of the year. 3 airlines, 4 more months? That’s a lot of flights to choose from and it appears they’re going to be offering a lot of flights open to this new value (although that usually is never the case so we won’t hold our breath over here.)
