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.
I feel you. I fly whatever gets me there direct. I’m just a transplant for a term and have Executive Platinum on American but man, red eyes dont work for my business travel. Let me arrive early AM for a business meeting? Nope, that’s means I’m spending an extra day to fly in early and hoping whatever Marriot I’m staying in will let me check in early. Joys of business travel.
Safe travels!
