Hawaii Inter Island Airfare

By: S Moon


It is now September of 2007 and the three (3) local airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Aloha Airlines and Go Airlines are still in a fierce inter-island airfare war, which seems to be wearing the airlines down to bottom in dollars. Nevertheless, all three airlines are relentless in regards to their competing airlines and had resulted in drastic discounts and even at $0 (giveaway) at one point. Now the standard airfare among the three airlines is set at $39 one way base fare, which is $44.90 with all taxes included. This is a big difference from when the airfares were at $78 minimum one way just over a year ago.

With this airfare war going on and the inter-island fare standard at $39, how are the travel agents handling this? Not only the travel agents but also the travel booking engines on the world wide web are charging fees when customers are booking the inter-island air travels. As such, many of the customers are rushing over to the airlines websites and trying to book directly to avoid any booking fees.

Even with this fare war, the airlines have placed some payment restrictions for all website reservation bookings as follows:

Aloha Airlines will only accept credit card payments with the billing address being in the United States, which Go Airlines has set up the same restrictions. However, Canadians and Australians are also able to purchase the promotional inter-island airfare on the Hawaiian Airlines website.

Now for the rest of you that are not from the United States and still wishing to purchase the promotional airfares, you can always call the airlines direct over the phone and reserve at a higher price, or reserve directly with Fun Hawaii Travel and get the same promotional airfare being offered without any fees.
