We first flew the Hawaiian 717 in 2018. Yes, I thought it was perfect for the inter-island routes. We first flew inter-island on Aloha 737s back in 1979, later inter-island with Island Air and their turbo-prop DeHavilland DH-6, which I enjoyed at the lower altitude. When I first read about Airbus buying the 220 I thought it would be the perfect fit to replace the 717. I have not flown on one yet, but everyone I have spoken to about thinks it is a great plane.
Trying to book flight to Lihue from Honolulu on line. Not able to access site to reservations availability. I already have a Hawaiian Airlines visa credit card, a frequent flyer account, and receive email communications from Hawaiian Airlines. I don’t want to apply for a mobile app. How can I just start a reservation by first booking flights? I will call 1-800-367-5320, but I keep being put on hold. I would prefer to book on line.
Would Hawaiian Airlines also be entertaining the DHC Dash-8 (Q400)? For general reference, the following is the current price for each option:
A220 $91,500,000
E190 $51,000,000
Q400 $32,200,000
