  1. How will the station be staffed? Will SWA employees be offered the opportunity to open the station or will they hire newbies from Hawaii?

  2. This might be off topic but what about Guam to Hawaii flights with Southwest or other airlines? United is the only airline currently offering direct flights to this warmer-than-Hawaii winter destination paradise. It seems like a real shame

    1. Hi Chris,

      United is currently servicing the route with daily 777 service, which would seem to indicate adequate demand for some competition.

      Aloha.

  3. I do hope SWA will continue to offer free baggage & schedule changes. I also hope they will allow seat selection at time of booking.

  4. How do you know this training and the fleet isn’t related to them flying to Puerto Rico?

    1. We have friends on the Big Island that are SW flight crew. He a captain, she a cabin crew supervisor, both are incident first responders, so well into the heart of the airline. Both have recently undergone overwater certification. Yes the official line is for PR, and yes, Hawaii is eminent, with no firm date stated, even to the air crews. But mos’def coming.

  5. Please use Beat of Hawaii influence to encourage Southwest to install “economy +” seating! Also, sure hope scheduling will permit same day connections from cities (including Albuquerque) to the east of Oakland…at least on flights heading to Hawaii.
    Really appreciate BoH’s attention to this subject.

    1. Hi Joan and Greg,

      No one knows definitively, other than SWA, but it doesn’t appear that San Diego would be part of their Hawaii plans at least initially.

      Aloha.

  6. do you think you will go from phla to kauai hawaii ?????????????????? please say yes

    1. Hi Vincent,

      Thanks for asking. Without getting into a long piece on the industry, the simple answer is yes. SWA has what it takes to successfully compete with legacies on LA to neighbor island routes.

      Aloha.
