Hawaiian, Mokulele, go! launch competing Hawaii interisland airfare deals

Cue up Sinatra crooning “Come Fly With Me” and check out these Hawaii airfare deals!

Even as summer travel season comes to an end, yet another skirmish in the Hawaii interisland airfare war is sure to keep the heat up in September.

This week, Hawaii-based air carriers Hawaiian Airlines, Mokulele Airlines and go! each announced deals on September travel aimed at luring island hoppers aboard their flights instead of the competition’s.

The choices are intriguing enough. Book a la carte flights with Hawaiian Airlines or go! for $24.99 each one-way. Or opt for a winged buffet from Mokulele Airlines—all the interisland flights you can handle during the month of September for $299 total.

Here are the deal breakdowns by air carrier, in order of who flew in with its deal first:

Mokulele Airlines

On Monday morning, Mokulele began offering a $299 interisland flight pass, good for unlimited travel during the entire month of September.

There are a few rules to note. Flights must be booked three days prior to departure. If you skip out on flight, all remaining flights booked with the pass are suspended and a $100 penalty is charged to the customer’s account. No new flights can be made until the customer pays the fine.

Don’t let the rules scare you. You’d be hard pressed to find a better deal for the local businessman or the frequent Hawaii traveler regularly zipping between the Islands. Just don’t wait too long to decide if it’s for you: The pass must be purchased by Aug. 31.
