There’s more competition in the top 100 city pairs than there ever was in 1978 when deregulation started In real dollars, ticket prices have steadily declined. All paid for by stockholders, debtors, and employees.
It’s interesting to see Jet Blue possibly entering the Hawaii market, the competition should benefit the passenger’s wallets nicely. I do fly Jet Blue quite a bit, the extra legroom and width is great. I would definitely look into flying them from Newark to Honolulu if the price was competitive and saying that I had plans for returning.
At the risk of giving the Governor any bright ideas, how about a requirement for a D-U-N-S Number (Dun & Bradstreet credit rating) requirement to enter Hawaii? I hear they fit nicely in a QR code. Easily checked at the airport upon arrival. You can even have designer wrist bands! The infrastructure is already in place. This will keep the riff-raff (aka SW tourists) out just like COVID. A win-win!
D&B performs Business Credit Ratings Primarily, at what time do HS Freshman in Hawaii learn reality based education? Attempting to control freedom of travel and association in a free country by limiting access to a certain “Class” or “Caste” is Illegal, despite common thoughts.
Better yet: all United States Citizens should have a chip implanted behind their left ear that designates them as high, middle, or low budget spenders. This chip would be scanned just prior to the TSA checkpoint by a State of Hawaii Hospitality agent for any passenger booked on a Hawaii-bound flight. Unless one is in the “high budget spender” (HBS) category, one will be denied boarding to the HI-bound aircraft and offered an alternative travel plan to Galveston, TX, Fresno, CA, Baltimore, MD, or Duluth, MN. Choice is good!
Love jet blue hope they get Hawaii I’ll be going
Don’t allow the merger. We need competition in airlines!

A321’s are not capable of transpacific flights.
The timing of this event will be interesting. The MAX and the narrow body Airbus aircraft have opened a number of doors.

It will never happen. I heard Hawaii is trying to limit the number of tourists that come to visit. this would only mean More tourists.
Oh wait… we’ll first have to find out if these are the cheap SWA tourists, or the richer, spend a bunch of money on fancy hotel tourists.

Do you mean the “buck-fifty”tourists that come here and can’t afford any commercial activity items so they go off, get hurt, then have to be re$cued?
