Fly Inter-Island in September $25

Updated 9/2.

The $25 fare for September was pulled by Go! and Mokulele.  However, if you’ve already signed up for the offer at Hawaiian Air, it remains valid through September.

Also today, Hawaiian announced that effective 9/14, they will follow the lead of Go! and Mokulele by implementing a $10 first bag fee.

Remember that to get the $25 price on Hawaiian Airlines, you need to have set up a free Hawaiian Miles account prior to August 31.  Then you’ll see the offer when you go to check flights.

As I’ve recently been predicting, the inter-island fare war is back on, big-time. A few days ago Mokulele Airlines announced a $299 pass for unlimited flying in September (not include taxes and baggage fees).

Not to be outdone, both Hawaiian and Go! have met Mokulele’s offer, and one up’d it by introducing an unbeatable fare of $24.99 (plus tax), also valid for the entire month of September.

What’s more, on Hawaiian, if you fly before 10am or after 2pm, each inter-island roundtrip qualifies you for 10% off a future mainland trip.

Here are the rules:

• $24.99 one way
• Sign up by 8/30 (Hawaiian only)
• Book from 8/24-9/30
• Travel through 9/30

An important note:  Both Go! and Mokulele are now charging $10 for the first checked bag.  If you’re checking bags, that makes Hawaiian’s price the best by far.

I’ll follow up on this, as we will likely see further developments in this renewed fare war.
