Will seating be more comfortable and roomy, or will the flights be with the current seating?
Thanks,
Kim
Hi Kim.
No changes to what is currently offered in terms of seating. Southwest is no worse than its competitors in that regard.
Aloha.
It’s nice that maybe soon S.W will offer flights to Hawaii BUT why not from Dallas Love Field and Portland, OR ???? …. two MAJOR cities for Southwest. Portland residents hate having to first fly to Seattle or L.A/San Fran to make connections and those of us in the mid-West or further East don’t like flying all the way to West coast to make connections.
Because Portland on its own likely does not have enough of a market for flights to Hawaii, and isn’t as large of a hub for airlines as Seattle or SF/LA. And if you read the article, Denver is out of reach even on the 737-800, so Dallas is even more out of reach.
I am very happy to learn that sometime in the near future SWA will be flying to Hawaii, I have a reservation in Oahu,October 2018, I probably won’t be so lucky, its good to know. SWA is my favorite airline. Keep it up, thank you.
I am very interested in flying to Hawaii and when you have the first flight scheduled and/or any early deals please keep me posted. What are the avenues you may take to fly from STL?
Flying to Hawaii in mid September. Want to hold out for Southwest (our favorite airline,)however concerned that no dates have yet been officially announced (and, in the mean time, some great specials from other airlines).
Do we hold our breath and wait, or try to accept that we need to select another airline?
I would not hold your breath on SWA IF you see fares on other airlines which are acceptable for you.
Southwest released their schedule through October 1, 2018, and no Hawaii service was announced. Looks like you’ll have to fly someone else in September.
You may be able to still keep your fingers crossed – I have heard SWA has been known to add flights to schedules ones they have come out with the official schedules, but I do not know first hand how often that happens.
I want to enter any contest you might have for a trip to Hawaii. I want it for my son and daughter in law…who deserve something like that so much!
I always fly Southwest when I travel but who knows when that will happen again.
If there is no contest, oh well…I love you guys anyway and I am going to save my money for a trip for them.
Cheers!
How excited I am to see SWA be a part of Hawaii travel. Our friends are going there and asked us to join them since they have a timeshare on Maui. However, I want to fly with you! Any flights going from Cincinnati or preferably Indianapolis?
Kind regards, Diane
Hi Diane.
We’re all awaiting more news. Flights will be from the west coast with the possibility of connections from cities like those you mentioned.
Aloha.
Aloha,
Thank you. I like the staff and the no fuss for seating with the option to do early bird, and the checked luggage free option. It’s this that makes you who you are. As far as I’m concerned, Southwest is the best. The quote, ‘The difference between ordinary and extraordinary, is that little ‘extra’. Thank you, thank you.
Sincerely,
Diane
My wife and I are looking forward to the new SWA service to Hawaii. We love SWA’s service and frequently fly to the big Island, so this new route would be wonderful! Please keep us appraised as to when you will start these new routes, especially out of San Diego.
Hi John.
Will do!
Aloha.
How do you apply for Customer Service Agent jobs with Southwest in Hawaii and which Island
will have a station?
It has always been a dream to fly on SWA and now my kids just move to HI! That too has been a dream-since I turn 60 in October I would be thrilled to celebrate it in HI!
Thank you
