  1. Hi! Thank you for your excellent, helpful articles on my favorite place on Earth. We tested negative for Covid a month ago and are getting vaccinated soon. Can we travel to Hawaii after our 2 shots without a test?
    Thank you!

  2. Yes, that’s a good thing. I also noticed that the CDC has said, there will be no quarantine for those who are fully vaccinated against Covid and hopefully that will be a good thing too.
    Aloha Guys, very nice to have the updates.

  3. Yes, I would much rather pay $20, rather than $90 to $200! However, I do note that it appears that they submit the cost to your insurance company to pay the rest. So, each person should check with their health insurer to see if they will pay for it completely (or will there be co-pays, coinsurance, deductible, etc.).

  4. Aloha

    Not sure what this has to do with SWA. City health has been offering $20 tests on appointment basis at these sites (and other off-airport) for months, regardless of airline carrier. My last one in sacramento was turned around in 11 hours, so im not sure how much value ‘prioritizing SWA passengers’ will add.

    As of now all these locations still offer appointments for anyone regardless of carrier

  5. What about a LAX solution?!? $20/person for guaranteed results even doable, even for family travel. But the mid-trip RE-test is going to be an issue. No other states have set this precedence. Maybe evidence of a vaccine gets you out of a mid-trip RE-test?

  6. It would if I could find a way to get Southwest to Hawaii without it costing me a bundle! From where we are, they literally are within $$$ of Hawaiian out of Phoenix and their schedule from here and back is horrendous!
