We recently took a SWA flight to Honolulu. Absolutely never again. Absolutely horrible flight, no snacks, late, crowded and of course their constant “thank you for your patience “. .
We had the opposite experience last week . Flew to and from Los Angeles to Honolulu and they had 3 snack /beverage services . It sure made for a constant line to the bathroom haha
WHT would be for higher prices. The average traveler is priced out of Hawaii now, due to the taxes and fees. I used to visit yearly from LA. It is no longer affordable to pay more for a car rental, parking and fees and taxes, than a hotel room. Hawaii I live you but can no longer afford you.
Please help!
Purchased roundstickets on Southwest for 4 in November for May 24 Sanfrancisco-Oahu ,return flight Oahu to Las Vegas May 30.
Is there any way take advantage to get a price reduction
on our tickets?
Thank You in advance.
Again Thank you.
Yes, from what I’ve been reading SW wants to be the biggest airline when it comes to traveling to Hawaii. However, SW is having their problems with that plan. Their aircraft are completely sold out and card service is completely goofed up when it comes to boarding the aircraft. IMO, they are trying to implement their plan before they have everything in place and it’s going backfire on them. I’ve also been reading that there is going to be a cool down in travel to Hawaii.

Noticing as of late, Hawaii seeming way less appealing… reports of $50. Surcharge, visitors “hassled” on Public beaches”. ( these are documented on your local news. How about having to show Hawaii drivers license to use public beaches during certain hours. Reservations to be made for visiting Diamond Head and sunrise on Haleaukula . Makes it turning into a Disneyland Park. My dad is buried at Punchbowl National Cemetary. He served in USN in World War II in response to Pearl Harbor attack. I would like to visit him before I can no longer travel as I am 75 and have terminal cancer. Will I have to make a reservation to visit him also ? I fear the tourist industry in Hawaii is imploding.

Arranging a visit should be no problem. As for reservations, while popular tourist sites have in some cases been regulated to limiting over crowding. Even the most popular sites are manageable to visit with minimal effort in planning. Go on line to check the Punchbowl, I’d suspect it would require much less planning than your airline ticket. Hotel, transportation, or even dining out.
