Price Comparison Made on Interisland Flights

With Southwest Airlines’ reporting the opening of ticket sales on Monday, March 4, 2019, Big Island Now put together a price comparison on a few of the new Hawai‘i routes. This unofficial survey takes the lowest price offering from the airlines’ respective websites, although it does not factor in baggage fees or fare limitations. Keep in mind, Southwest Airlines is offering introductory fares, so the prices are bound to go up.
