    I was looking forward for a trip to Hawaii. With the cost of airfare and travel it appears I lose my one chance to travel. The last time I had been in Hawaii was on my way to Vietnam 1968.

    Funny the US BLS just posted 12 month inflation numbers Feb 2024 and airline tickets dropped 6.1%, I travel a lot and haven’t seen it. My friend goes from the east coast to Seattle and pays like 900 a ticket, I flew from the East cost to Hawaii (one stopover) and paid 800, and for a longer flight (more fuel), and that has been the case several times, so that is my anecdotal experience.

      I cannot believe that anyone ever thought those crazy low prices would continue. That was southwest’s way to cull the herd, so to speak. The others had to kind of follow, there all knew it wouldn’t last.

        There’s nothing funny about it. Airline tickets make up only a small part of the Consumer Price Index .

        Airline fares are driven by costs and with new pilot contracts and high prices for her fuel it’s no wonder airlines are pricing their fares higher.

        Still way better in real dollars than 50 years ago. That’s why Hawaiian tourism has boomed

    I’m afraid HI is in for a bumpy ride. Rising travel costs on every front airfare, accommodations, car rentals, additional taxes/fees to start. Add the vocal negative thoughts towards visitors by the governor & locals & planes literally falling apart. Add the devalued Yen & inflation affecting discretionary spending.Lastly, after all these years of the negative impact of travelers, the powers that be have developed no plan B for locals to survive when visitors are gone.
