What a ripoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this is one more way SWA is trying to flood Hawaii with as many people as they can with so called deals that really aren’t that great.
SWA clearly would love to turn Hawaii into another Orlando or Las Vegas type destination with total disregard for the State. I don’t appreciate being a dumping ground for their frequent fliers. They are trying to suck as much money out of Hawaii as they can.
Amen!! I have had some readers accuse me of being elitist for making similar comments in the past. SWA is changing the landscape of Hawaii tourism in a horrible way. If you’re financing air travel you’re definitely not contributing much when you get here. Unneeded tourists for sure
I know that SW offers lots of great fare deals, but they aren’t always when one can travel. I can see someone availing themselves of this option in an effort to better afford a, thanks to these troubled times, long over-due trip. Although the hard credit hit wouldn’t be worth it to me, I can see where someone would give it a shot. Folks do it all the time with furniture 🙂
Personally, I think that this is a bad idea. If you can’t afford the cost of transportation to get to a vacation, you probably shouldn’t travel there.
Southwest will only add to the additional expense of a Hawaiian vacation that most travelers pay with via credit cards. That possible 36% will only hurt the people who can’t afford it in the first place… Bad idea!

Agreed – if you have to finance a $200 ticket you are not the tourist Hawaii needs. The blue planes have brought too many of those as is is.
No thank you. I’ll just pay as I go same as I always have.
Can you please up date the state policy on required vacancies. Thought I heard today they now require the booster, correct. Thanks you for all your help. Coming to see your islands mid March and staying to mid april.
Hi Charlie.
Here’s where it is still at.
Aloha.
Guess I’m old school…if you can’t afford it, you don’t go…even if it’s interest free. I wouldn’t want that hanging over my head. Thanks
Aloha! While this may sound enticing, there is no need to go into debt for an airline ticket. If one can not afford it, save up until able. No money worries!
Thanks for all your interesting information!
Just pay for the ticket already. If you cannot afford the full payment at time of purchase, just pay your monthly credit card bill. No crazy interest fees, no hard pull credit report and you can book your Hawaiian vacation Jen you want.
If you can’t afford to pay for the ticket…you can’t afford to go to Hawaii in MHO.
