Just please don’t increase the cost of island hopping, it’s our only option.

Compared to southwestss prices Hawaiian is a joke Fewer flights and twice the price.
I meant aircraft in general. If the prices of one starts going up too much, it’s cover for everyone else to raise prices too. Just how it works here with everything.
Southwest has been consistently cheaper and remained cheaper for a very long time.
Hawaiian sells mostly to tourists and seem to cater to an older more ‘luxury’ crowd.
I’m not disputing your point, but pricing is relative, and if the lack of competition between Alaskan and Hawaiian results in their prices eventually going up, then it’s possible that Southwest’s prices, while still being cheaper, will also go up.
I mean it could be, but then, why doesn’t SW just raise prices now to meet Hawaiian?
Hawaiian is very expensive and has not so many flights. I’m doing big island to Oahu at least 3-6 times a year and I almost never take Hawaiian because its always more expensive. Local kine always seem to go SW for like, sports games, visit family etc.
I think Hawaiian is just for tourists. They buy Hawaiian cus they dont know better and Hawaiian is better at marketing the off island flights.
Oh this is a great thing.
I frequently fly between the islands and mainland.
Hawaiian is an overpriced joke.
No wifi, two to three times the price of southwest interisland, same compared with Alaska to mainland. I only fly Alaska to mainland. 8 dollar internet, no bullshit around bags, consistently good results in scheduling or delays, and when they fuck up , they make it right.
If they could get Hawaiian (which pret nds to be luxury but has fewer features than discount carriers) to be competitive with southwest interisland…
Wait, are the luxury hot pockets not really a luxury? Based in HNL and every flight back to mainland is a hassle, Hawaiian has two directs I fly. I don’t mind southwest for sub 3 hour flights but cross ocean, I want to know my seat assignment and have the extra leg room for my tall-self. Let’s see how this shakes out.

😂 😅 😂 😂 😂 😅 😅 🤣 Actually lold at this. Right?
And also, 100%. I would never fly SW on anything other than interisland.
I fly Alaska and only Alaska if I’m leaving the island. Too much bad blood with Delta, and the wifi is better/ more consistent.
