Airports in general are stressful environments and Hawaii is no exception. If the security lines and ever-changing rules and attitudes don’t get you, then the boarding procedures surely will. Here are some tips for transiting our airports on your next Hawaii vacation. A report out today by Amadeus (the global airline distribution system) points out that airports world wide are […]
Southwest Air previously announced that there would be no Hawaii service announcements in 2012 although I believe their interest in Hawaii remains active. Previously we’d suggested that Southwest Air might easily decide to enter the inter-island airline market as well. There’s news now that gives us an indication of what to expect. Southwest Air’s Boeing 717’s Southwest inherited a […]
With all of the new Hawaii routes announced this week, it begs the question, what is going to happen next. This has after all been a huge week for Hawaii visitors and our state’s tourism industry. As you know, on Tuesday we saw five new routes from four cities on newcomer Allegiant Air. Those came with eye-popping fares starting as […]
Last week’s one-day Hawaii airfare sale  has been extended.  You’ll have a choice of three airlines on this offer that’s now set to expire on May 23, 2012. This is an all too unusual opportunity to obtain decent reductions in the otherwise high cost of flying within Hawaii. Not all dates and flights are available and some flights are significantly more. Typically […]
May 15, 2012. Today Allegiant Air added four more cities and five new routes to its roster of Hawaii flight origins, and as we have been predicting, they are Bellingham, Eugene, Santa Maria and Stockton.

Hawaii is moving to the top of the list in its commitment to raising and eating locally grown food. Based on 2010/2011 government data, a new study by  The Strolling of the Heifers has ranked locally sourced food per capita by measuring farmers markets and community supported agriculture. Hawaii now ranks fifth nationally. Here are some examples of Hawaii […]
Here’s a today only sale that’s a good enough Hawaii travel deal that I wanted to let you know about it. We’re so happy to have at least some relief in the inter-island airfares. This includes Hilo which has been left out of most sales. You can fly inter-island all summer long and save up to 50% of typically […]
Hawaii is situated perfectly en route between North America and both Asia and the South Pacific. A lack of flights and effective price points made it unfeasible to include a Hawaii stopover for years. But that is changing once again. We plan to expand Beat of Hawaii’s  international coverage to coincide with these developments. For those of you who’ve […]
We’re happy to see Allegiant Air coming to Hawaii at long last. Why? Competition in the economy-oriented market segment means more affordable airfares to the islands should be forthcoming. Allegiant reported a 23% increase in revenue with a 27%  increase in earnings for the quarter ending March 31. It took over two years for Allegiant to clear the hurdles of […]

April 10, 2012. Allegiant Air announced today the first of what I imagine will be many new service offerings, including an excellent Hawaii travel deal. I’m happy to say that our predictions as recently as 5 days ago, were pretty much right on, including that Las Vegas would be part of the initial offering. This morning the first two routes […]
