Alaska Airlines' Hawaii fares continue to drop while the scope of the deals expand. Their last sale which I wrote about on August 19 has now been extended for purchases through September 10. I think we will definitely still see cheaper deals appear in these markets, but if...
I've just been reading about the new $50 per bag fee imposed on international flights by Continental and US Air. But you needn't go further than flying within Hawaii to feel the sting of the baggage fee bee. As we've been discussing, the now long-standing inter-island...

Air Canada announced today that beginning in December, they will launch the only non-stop, seasonal service between Calgary and Hawaii. We're always glad to see new service added to bring our Canadian friends to visit here in Hawaii. WestJet has had most of the recent news,...
No deals today, so Rob says that I'm scraping the bottom with today's post. It starts with an El Al flight from Bangkok to Tel Aviv last week that reported all of its Boeing 767 lavatories failed mid-flight. With 6 hours remaining on an 11 hour flight, the plane continued...
