Alaska Air Expands Hawaii Service

islands More good news for California-based Hawaii travelers. Alaska Airlines will be adding new services from Oakland starting this fall:

Oakland to/from Kahului

4 times weekly starting November 9
Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
Depart Oakland 745am, Arrive Kahului 1105am
Depart Kahului 1205pm, Arrive Oakland 710pm

Oakland to/from Kona

3 times weekly starting November 10
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday
Depart Oakland 745am, Arrive Kona 1115am
Depart Kona, 1215pm, Arrive Oakland 730pm

Introductory Fare

Alaska is charging $169 each way on the above routes for tickets purchased by May 21. This is a reasonable price if you’d like to lock in your dates well in advance.

What’s next for Alaska?

Starting early July

Seattle to Honolulu will see a second daily trip
Portland to Kahului service begins in July

Also, depending on economic conditions, I expect to see Alaska add services between

Oakland and Lihue
Orange County and Hawaii

Hi Frank,

This should be good for competition and therefor pricing too!

Given that the travel industry is in trouble right now, its great to see Alaksa stepping up with more routes. Its just a shame that are still charging baggage fees
