Hello HIIC'ers! Was looking to visit hawaii in late nov/early dec this year and i want to island-hop a bit (R/T between OGG & LIH). i remembered last year, hawaiian air was offering specials on interisland flights on Kamehameha Day. Do you think they will offer the same special this year? It was like $1 one-way if you book your tickets on Kamehameha Day or something like that. Ticket prices for any kind of traveling has been looking pretty nasty lately, I want to jump on any deal available.

Thanks in advance guys!

 

hell no that aint gonna happen again any time soon aloha has gone bankrupt and out of commish... so there is no more price waring going on you may be able to get discount coupons from somewhere but your looking at spendin a little more than usual

 

Superferry may be your best bet

 

With the sudden lack of competition in the Hawaiian market, don't expect bargain airfare anytime soon. Two of the major carriers for this area went bankrupt this month. As far as I know, your only options are Hawaiian or Go Airlines.

Ticket prices from the mainland have more than doubled since January. Meh.

 

$1 one way?...! wow, since when did something like that ever happened....? never heard of it...

 

that was last year it was a one day thing and they booked full within 20 minutes

 

yeah they had that promo for Go airlines as well

now that Aloha is gone hawaiian and Go now have 1/3 more customers. there wont be a shortage in customers for each airlines now...

goes to show hawaiian and aloha was right, hawaii cant handle 3 local airlines...sucks for aloha though

 

Yea friend of mine who worked as a pilot for Aloha lost his job

 

dam this failing economy!!!!

 

Failing economy has nothing to do with it. Aloha had old, gas guzzling planes and no outside source of revenue. Go is losing money hand over fist, but they have the Mesa operation to sustain them. Hawaiian has new, efficient planes and a large overseas operation to sustain them. Interisland seats cost Go $55, Hawaiian $52, and Aloha $50, according to Aloha's CEO. When Go comes in with the stated objective of driving Aloha out of business, and charges $19 for a seat, who do you think is going to win?

Anybody who has ever flown Go has no right whatsoever to whine about Aloha going under. Talk to your out of work friends and relatives.
