American and Delta are now taking part in the Los Angeles to all islands Fall airfare war. As previously reported, Hawaiian at $161 each way is still available, albeit with stops en route to the Big Island and Kauai. Hilo is available (with stops) for about $5 more. These are great options for those wishing to fly non-stop or loyal […]

Speculation arose again this weekend about the possibility of Alaska Air being acquired by American Airlines. Alaska, which has of recent become a very significant player here in Hawaii’s skies, is valued at $1.5B, which makes it small enough to still be easily digestible.
