Notice that it is the city of Oakland, CA that is doing more to facilitate air travel to Hawaii than the entire state of Hawaii is doing???
That should give you some indication of what a completely, hopelessly failed state Hawaii is.
The governor and the mayors of all four of the main islands should simply resign and allow others that are more competent and more motivated to fill their sad, tiny shoes.
We have found out first hand about the schedule changes. We had tickets to Maui on Hawaiian for October 15th. They were cancelled. Then we had tickets on United to Oahu with a connecting flight on Hawaiian to Maui. That was cancelled because Hawaiian was no longer scheduling that flight. We really need to get to Maui to arrange new protocol for opening our two vacation rentals. The latest plan is that we will fly to LA one day on Southwest and fly to Maui the next day on United. We hope this works. Thank you for always giving up to the minute reports!!
Hi Linda.
Sorry to hear about that. It is definitely in a state of flux at least for now. Thanks.
Aloha.
Planning a flight on SW from SMF to OGG Nov 10th. Really hoping something positive happens with Covid testing at SMF. We live three hours away and testing in our location takes 4-7+ days to get results back.
Amazing. In a bad way. Have Boston to Honolulu flights Nov 19th. Have testing options we are working on confirming. Why would Hawaiian suspend that route when the opening is Oct 15th? Just booked our house rental this past weekend. Now we will have the fun of working thru refunds and/or rebooking on both fronts. May be time to just give up on Hawaii. We are zero for three now. Not sure if there is any chance Hawaiian changes their mind and keeps those mid November flights?
Mahalo for the updates once again.
Hi Kyle.
The reason, we believe, that Hawaiian is suspending that route, is that they don’t believe there is adequate traffic in relation to the cost of operations, for now. We are doubtful that will change before December, at the earliest.
Aloha.
Any news on Free Covid testing for those flying out of San Diego via Alaska Airlines in November?
Did you hear that Kauai’s mayor is requesting the governor allow for required Covid testing on landing too. Also, requiring 3 day quarantine before the test will be given. How can there be any tourist recovery with these requirements?
Thanks, as always, for all the updates!
I just called Hawaiian Airlines to cancel our October 29 flight from Seattle to Maui. They agreed to give us a refund because the flight schedule was changed by more than two hours, with a layover in Honolulu. We’ll fly to Maui once everything has been figured out and we feel it is sage to travel.
Mahalo!
Hi Lanell.
Thanks for your many comments. Sorry to see you having to deal with this again.
Aloha.
OMG! Oakland airport comes thru with a plan…Rapid testing for FREE managed by the airport. What a novel idea!
Now if they can do it, why can’t Honolulu do it? For that matter, why can’t ALL of the island airports do it? Maybe the various airport managers should take a trip to Oakland to find out how!
And will the test be accepted? Why not, it is the same as the quick test being offered by the airlines.
About time!
Wow, only 3 flights a week from Seattle to Maui??
On an A321neo, too! I guess they don’t feel demand will come back quivkky.
What happens when a traveler shows up with a covid vaccine?
