Any truth to the rumour that the largest U.S. domestic carrier, Southwest Airlines, is in talks with acquiring Hawaiian Air?
Sometime ago, I had heard that Hawaiian would be doing flights to and from Chicago. Have you heard any information about that? Thank you so much. Linda
Hi Linda.
We have heard the same rumors. That’s all that we know.
Aloha.
My parents (both 91 yrs old) want to take a family “last trip” to Honolulu, HI in 2018. I’m the youngest of 2 daughters & resigned from corporate job to be their
full time caregiver, medical advocate, driver, laundry, etc.- they live with me & my husband.
Dad born on Big Island; when 5 yrs old, moved & grew up on Kaimuki, HI (went to McKinley HS) …until he entered US Army. Mom from Tokyo, Japan.
23-25 family members (adults=17 + children=7-8) traveling for this “last trip”.
My parents wish to pay for all flights & hotel if possible.
Will someone help me plan/secure best pricing?
Hi Lillian.
For 10 or more people traveling together, we suggest you call the group sales desk at each of the airlines flying to Hawaii from your location. A discount of perhaps 10% will be possible. Alternatively you might want to contact a travel agent for such a large group.
Aloha.
On my last vacation, I flew both Dreamliners and A-330’s. The A-330 is a very nice, comfortable plane, but the Dreamliner is a far superior experience. Important to me were how quiet the plane was, the comfortable lighting, the tinted and very large windows. But most important is the cabin atmosphere, calibrated to the equivalent of 6,000 ft rather than 8,000 ft, and with more humidity. It makes long haul flights far easier to handle. I am excited to see an ultra long-haul plane come into the Hawaiian Airlines group, and hope there will be nonstop service to London or another European hub, and possibly even Sao Paulo, to open an easier transit for the important Sao Paulo – Japan market. Would also enjoy nonstop service to Melbourne, Australia.
Hi David.
Thanks for your continuing comments. Appreciate your insights and we concur with your thoughts on the planes.
Aloha.
David nails it. The difference between 6,000’ and 8,000’ cabin pressurization is HUGE. The longer the flight, the greater the benefits from higher humidity and a lower equivalent altitude. Add to that the psychological calming aspect of larger windows, and less-cramped appearing cabins, adds to a superior flight experience. The composite fuselage is the secret, only the Dreamliner has it….
Out family will be flying from Los Angeles to Honolulu in June. When is the best time to book our flights, and do to foresee any sales this spring?
We really enjoy receiving Beat of Hawaii, and thank you for your time.

Hi Gary.
Thank you. If you can leave LA by 6/14 and return by about 6/23, there is an excellent $497 RT airfare on Hawaiian. Don’t wait if that works since later in the month you’ll be looking at $707 RT.
Aloha.
Hi hello I am wondering if Hawaiian airlines will ever be flying into or out of Denver Co.
