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