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
Jeff,
Thank you for posting. This is great news. My wife and I flying to Maui this weekend on Alaska Air from Oaktown. The pain is having to transfer in Seattle.

Hi Frank,
This should be good for competition and therefor pricing too!
Aloha, Jeff
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
