Alaska Airlines Adds Service to Hawaii
Get ready to enjoy more options out of Seattle and Alaska to Hawaii. Alaska Airlines announced this week that it will begin serving Hawaii this fall, with regular service between its Seattle hub and Honolulu and Kauai, and seasonal flights between Anchorage, Alaska, and Honolulu in early December. The Wall Street Journal reports that Alaska will start Seattle-Honolulu flights on Oct. 12, followed by Seattle-Lihue services on Oct. 28. We’ll be watching closely to see what/if this new service has any impact on pricing in this market.
