Don't get too excited.

SWA/WN still is not ETOPS certified so they won't be coming to the Islands anytime soon;

AAY/G4 just started with introductory fares and is only serving from LAS and FAT. They will not have an impact on the market as the LAS flight is only 3 X week while the FAT flight is only 1 X week. Further AAY/G4 charges a carry-on fee in addition to the checked bag fee.

UAL still dominates the market to/from Mainland - Islands. Its about 8000 seats/day to/from the Islands.

Using the full month of July as an example:

HNL:

DEN - 1 daily 767

ORD - 1 daily 777
SFO - .3 daily 737, 2 daily 757, .85 daily 767, 2 daily 777
SNA - 1 daily 737

SFO - 4 departures on 737

OGG-HNL-IAH is your best option at this point. Connect in the mainland for approx $450.

No it wasn't. I used "bill me later" so I don't have to pay for 6 months. It's my ticket to making extra money providing a service no one else is... with some luck.

I didn't mean I'm actually looking for a flight. I mean it would be cool if it cost as little as flying to the West Coast. I guess it's moot since I can't afford either $700 or $300 :P
