    I have 4 tickets for mid November 2020 to Honolulu what do you expect to
    happen in the next 60 days as far as having to quarantine, testing and
    hopping to get results allowing us to fly. Please I would appreciate any incite
    that you could give. Thanks for all you do to keep people up to date.
    I only wish that the governor and health safety people could find a way to solve
    this difficult situation. Jean S.

    If Southwest can make money and not charge change fees or luggage fees it just means that the airlines that charge these fees are greedy.

    This is a huge game changer. Don’t be fooled, the airlines need that $25 billion (that’s billion with a “b”) of OUR tax dollrs, to try and survive. So they threw us a bone. But it’s a BIG bone and will matter to a lot of travelers, particularly right now. As you importantly point out, it gives sick people a way to postpone flying. Critical right now. Southwest must be smiling. They have had a better system for years and still will, because ALL of their tickets can become a travel credit. They don’t exclude the cheapest fares. We are getting closer to returning to the Land of Aloha!

      About time that others are following the Southwest model, I bet they are really smiling about this:)
      Aloha

    Awesome they dropped the ‘change fee” on flight to and from Hawaii. All we need now are flights to and from Hawaii……

    I had flights to Kauai for September on Alaska, about 3 weeks ago we changed them to next March. The airlines were so kind with us. The new flights were cheaper so they immediately refunded us the price difference back to our card. And the second ticket was purchased with points which ended up being half as many so they refunded us the difference in points also. Everything was back in my accounts within 24 hrs.
    Changing our inter-island flights with Southwest was just as easy, although they had a lot less flights to choose from.

    Hello,
    I am unable to use a free companion ticket for opening a Hawaiian Master Credit Card. What happens to the free companion fare that will be void after one year, end of December 2020? Would you extend the expiration of my companion free fare? COVID-19 has prevented us from traveling to the orient and using this free companion ticket.

    Your response is appreciated. Mahalo.

      Hi Carol.

      We do not know the answer to your question. It would be better posed to Hawaiian or their credit card company.

      Aloha.

    Aloha! It’s about time! A few years ago my husband was very ill, could not fly, and we had a trip planned to Hawaii. Called the airline and they said they could only waive the fees if he was in the hospital and had a letter from his doctor. Well, we called our friend who knew a big wig in customer service… couple clicks in the computer, all done. We hated to take advantage, but saved at least $600!

    Thanks for all the news, really appreciate it. Will check back to see Hawaiian Air’s update.

    This is indeed good news! Like so many, we had to cancel our traditional summer trip to Maui. Now seriously thinking of making an April trip and taking advantage of the low fares. What do you think? Is April a real possibility?

    I love your website and read it faithfully every day. Thanks for brining a little Hawaii to us in San Francisco. We miss it so much, and we worry about the Hawaiian economy and people.

    Aloha, Rita N.

      Hi Rita.

      Thank you! We have to think the answer is yes, barring anything else weird happening in the world.

      Aloha.
