Aloha!
Exactly where is the new terminal? Where the Commuter terminal was or somewhere else?
Mahalo for all the updates! Am also a Kalaheo resident and receive all your emails. They are appreciated!
Hi Lynn.
Southwest is located underneath the United Airlines terminal. That is at the exact opposite end of the airport from the inter-island terminal. A long but pleasant walk or you can take the shuttle bus.
Aloha.
Hello!
We are family of four (3 adults and one teenager), looking for our first trip to Hawaii Oahu from Tucson AZ in June, how to find best cheap airfare?
Thank you an advance for your help.
Hi Tom.
$523 on United with fast connection. Not sure it will improve – we’re doubtful.
Aloha.
awesome
Aloha Gang, This is a BIG Day for Hawaii, I have been flying Southwest since their beginning lot of years ago, so I am so happy they finally made it to Hawaii. I have been coming there since 1962 and we have owned time shares since 1980. We always came every year to 15 month and its and was a long haul from the Philadelphia area but worth the long rides( Mostly Philly to Chicago the NS to Maui or HNL) Now we are in FL. and its Tampa or Orlando to Atlanta to HNL/ Maui or west coast for 22 years. Can’t wait for our first SWA flight there sometime later this year. Was there for three weeks last year. Mahalo for your newsletter and your hard work And Mahalo! and Aloha Southwest Airlines
Hi Richard.
Thank you!
Aloha.
Thank you for the share on how the first Southwest flight was. It’s exciting! I’m looking for something from March 30- April 6 from either LAX, Long Beach or San Diego to HNL.
Would love it as a long weekend so either weekend works. Any deals out there?
Mahalo!
Hi Cat.
No sorry there are no deals. Expect to pay from mid-$600’s RT for your peak of spring break dates.
Aloha.
Good Morning!
I’m just wondering if/when there will be any Southwest deals from the East Coast (specifically Boston) to Hawaii on Southwest.
Thank you, Betty
Hi Betty.
Sorry to say that will not be happening in the near future, at least on Southwest.
Aloha.
Great news! Thank you for sharing the coverage! Do you have any thoughts on when the flights to Kauai might begin? Thanks again for all you do!
Hi Doug.
That should happen within weeks, and we’ll write about it more soon.
Aloha.
Please address how SWA-HNL will handle persons with mobility issues. I appears that with the Gates G7-G10 at ground level, entry and exit to the airplane will require the use of stairs or a ramp. A jet way does not seem possible for use. Thank You.
Hi Bradley.
That question is probably best taken up directly with their customer service. The aircraft are using a ramp gate, no stairs. Once inside the terminal, there are both elevators and escalators.
Aloha.
How far is the new terminal from the baggage claim and the car rental desks?
Mahalo for the article and the pictures guys! It makes me feel a little better about flying Southwest to Hawaii although, to be honest, I’m not too sure how their safety record measures up to Hawaiian and Alaskan which is my only concern. It’s nice to see that they pumped some money into the terminal and added some aloha to the inaugural flight. Definitely excited to see some fare wars! Going to the Big Island for the first time in May, we always go to Kauai. Excited! ALOHA
