Travel Hawaii
What is the best way to travel between islands in Hawaii?
I'm looking to book a vacation to Hawaii for my honeymoon next June and would like to split my time between Oahu and Maui. What is the best way to travel between Islands? Has anyone had any personal experience with these islands?
Any one of four inter island air carriers: Aloha Air, Hawaiian Air, Go Air, or Island Air. However, this just in from Pacific Business News:
The interisland airline Go! reposted its $29 one-way fares last week and announced over the weekend it was extending the offer through Monday night.
Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group Inc. (Nasdaq: MESA), operator of go!, said it was extending the offer "just for the heck of it."
The initial offer, which was matched by Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines, was for selected seats on selected flights with several blackout periods around the holidays of November and December.
"Once again we've received an amazing response to our fare sale," said Joe Bock, chief marketing officer for go!
Last week Mesa Air Group reported that go!'s load factor had fallen to about three quarters full in August.
Interisland air capacity is up significantly -- more than 10 percent -- from the same time last year, due to three factors: (1) a substantial expansion of Island Air, whose smaller aircraft now fly more routes than either Hawaiian or Aloha as they serve routes most of which are not served by the larger carriers; (2) the launch of go! with frequent service between Honolulu and the four major interisland destinations of Lihue, Kahului, Kona and Hilo; and (3) an expansion of Hawaiian and Aloha service to those same destinations in an effort to prevent go! from wresting market share from the legacy carriers.
Personal suggestion for time allotment: I recommend a 50/50 split between Maui and O'ahu. Just remember: summer is peak season; lotsa tourists, lotsa little kids, lotsa college kids, lotsa traffic... but also lotsa fun...

Come Fly With Me $7.54 When critics refer to Sinatra's Capitol albums, their highest praise is usually reserved for the dark melancholy of Wee Small Hours or Only the Lonely.

The first of Sinatra's albums with arranger Billy May (whose arrangements have been overshadowed by Nelson Riddle's), Fly is the conce... |
