Updated 1/13: Â The same deal is now available to Kahului, Kona and Lihue, which makes it even better, since inter-island airfares are getting quite expensive. We haven’t seen Texas to Hawaii deals this good in quite some time. United encroaches on American’s hub to bring this one to you. Â Interestingly, while there is quite widespread availability in the next […]
If you’re available to make a reservation between now and January 19 for travel from now through March 11, Hawaiian has a new offer for you. Each day they’re offering 10% off round trip airfare between a different island and the US Mainland. Â Today, for example, that island is Kauai. If this offer doesn’t work for you, there are […]
These aren’t the exceptional deals that you want and that we strive to bring you. You can still expect to find those popping up from Hawaiian and others shortly. But in the meantime, these are fair, solid prices if you want to book now. In addition, don’t forget: You can get 5% off these fares by using any of […]
While there aren’t any great deals at the moment between Southern California and Hawaii, there’s a glimmer of light for next year that might help keep a downward pressure on prices. I’m talking about renewed competition and Delta’s recent announcement of daily 757 service between San Diego and Honolulu starting June 3. Â This route has previously been served only […]
From United (and via code share on Continental), a good January and February deal from often deal-deprived Chicago. Â Having spent time in Chicago in winter, I can’t think of a better way to start the New Year. This is especially good value to the neighbor islands since inter-island airfares have risen again, now to $58 each way, plus tax. […]

In addition, Pleasant Holidays together with Starwood Resorts has another sale, this one valid through January 28.  Air plus three nights accommodation starts at $399 on Oahu and Maui, $449 on Kauai and $639 on […]
Today’s announcement from Alaska Airlines is great news for both Hawaii and California’s bay area. Starting in March, the company will offer these new services: Three times a week between San Jose and Maui Four times a week between San Jose and Kona Daily service between Sacramento and Maui This announcement falls right on the heals of  this week’s […]
Those of us in Hawaii (and many Southern California residents) were sad to see Aloha’s demise and the discontinuation of Hawaii service from John Wayne Airport in Orange County. I’ve been predicting that Alaska would be the natural to jump into these routes as they have been slowly working their way down the Gold Coast (with Oakland starting in […]
Here’s yet another tale in Hawaii’s never ending saga of inter-island transportation. Less than one year ago we were excited to see a new and local player, Mokulele Airlines, enter the prior duopoly of Hawaiian Airlines and Mesa Airlines’ Go!. Low Airfares drove Mokulele’s financial problems. So much has occurred  in such a short time span. First we’ve been […]
