Hawaii Travel Tips

Another Inter-Island Airline Possible

Another Inter-Island Airline Possible

December 16, 2010 by Beat of Hawaii

There’s yet another player rumored to be reconsidering Hawaii inter-island service. Two years ago I first suggested that Alaska Air was interested in becoming involved in the Hawaii inter-island market.  And I believe that is even more true today. Alaska has since become the single most aggressive player in Hawaii’s skies today, opening more new Hawaii routes than any other […]

Interesting New Fee for Holding Air Reservations

Interesting New Fee for Holding Air Reservations

December 13, 2010 by Rob

When you’re not sure if you have the best deal or not, holding a reservation is a great way to go. Most domestic carriers, with the exception of American Airlines, have done away with this feature and require instant purchase. Today, however, UAL announced Fare Lock, a paid feature that lets you hold reservation for up to one week […]

Any Advice on TSA Enhanced Screenings?

Any Advice on TSA Enhanced Screenings?

December 3, 2010 by Rob

I’ve been following all of the updates on the new TSA screenings in preparation for my air travels next week. Yesterday Arthur Frommer wrote about his recent exposure to the “enhanced” pat down. “The grope…was about as sexual as a doctor’s use of a stethoscope, as invasive as a child’s game of tag. It was over in 90 seconds…” […]

Airline Leg Room At What Cost

Airline Leg Room At What Cost

November 30, 2010 by Beat of Hawaii

Airline ancillary fees for extra legroom and exit row seats are out of control. Hawaiian Air is the latest airline we reported to join the “unbundled seat charge fray.” I’m all for more space on claustrophobic airplanes. And I’ve even been known to splurge for first class upgrades and round-the-world fares in order to avoid being in the back. […]

Holiday Gifts And Favorites

Holiday Gifts And Favorites

November 26, 2010 by Rob

We’re enjoying the long Thanksgiving weekend and hope that you are too. The watch for Hawaii travel deals never ends though, so Jeff is keeping an eye out for anything that comes up between now and Sunday. First, two holiday shopping ideas: A top $10 Christmas gift favorite of mine continues to be Magellan’s Luggage Scale, which has saved me […]

Big Island Surf Films and Fishponds

Big Island Surf Films and Fishponds

November 12, 2010 by Rob

The 7th Annual Kona Surf Film Festival offers an opportunity to explore Hawaiian history with its new location at Big Island’s Mauna Lani Bay Hotel. While enjoying the film festival you may want to check out the historic fishponds on the property. The fishponds at Mauna Lani Bay Hotel were a highlight of my stay at the resort back […]

Allegiant Hawaii Deals Delayed

Allegiant Hawaii Deals Delayed

November 1, 2010 by Beat of Hawaii

Have you’ve been waiting around like I have to hear exactly what Allegiant has in mind for the islands? If you plan to take advantage of their upcoming Hawaii deals, there’s some news you should know about. As I recently shared, the planes look ready to fly.  On the other hand, the carrier is not. Last week, Allegiant had […]

Checking Hawaii Ocean Conditions

Checking Hawaii Ocean Conditions

October 23, 2010 by Rob

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, it’s imperative to know the ocean conditions before heading out. Drownings, not sharks, are one of the greatest hazards a visitor to Hawaii faces. We’re at the time of year when surf conditions, and appurtenant safety, are changing rapidly.  This week, for example, it isn’t unusual to go to a north shore […]

Allegiant: Hawaii Planes In Ready

Allegiant: Hawaii Planes In Ready

October 22, 2010 by Beat of Hawaii

Allegiant Air has just released photos of their new Hawaii livery, the first of six 757’s acquired specifically to begin service to the islands. I expect to see the announcement of their new Hawaii routes any day, with flights to begin quite soon thereafter. Allegiant has been especially pensive and tight lipped regarding the upcoming announcement. This is perhaps […]

First Day Blues

First Day Blues

October 14, 2010 by Rob

Things were quiet yesterday when I took this photo at Nawiliwili Stream on Kauai. The day before the stream saw a visitor bus enter its waters. Take a look at the “Bus Blunder Blues” photo and article from The Garden Island newspaper. It’s not a good promo for a helicopter company. I’m certain that they do a much better […]

More Fees Coming to Hawaiian Air

More Fees Coming to Hawaiian Air

October 12, 2010 by Beat of Hawaii

Hawaiian Airlines recently started charging $25 for exit row seating. And, while limited free meals are still available, they are now offering $10 paid meals as well as snacks and bottled water. In case you thought that was the end of Hawaiian’s ancillary fees, think again. “Ancillary revenue…will become a bigger chunk of our total revenue.” Mark Dunkerley, CEO […]
