– We have New Year’s Eve guides for three island that we released today. We know several readers have been awaiting them. We anticipate some additions to each of them between now and the New Year’s Eve, but for now, here they are:
– As Maui continues to navigate through the devastation from the August wildfires, a helpful website has been established to help visitors understand what’s open and how to be supportive. The website is called What’s Open Maui.
– The online travel agency CheapAir.com has a promotion for $10 off flights to Honolulu with the code HNL10. This promo is active through December 31, 2023.
– Earlier this month, Alaska Airlines announced the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines. The Hawaiian Airlines brand will continue to be maintained, but the operations of the two airlines will be combined. The deal is not expected to close for another 12 to 18 months. For now, passengers of Hawaiian Airlines should not notice any differences.
– Hawaiian Airlines announced the addition of three new routes beginning in May 2024. Those routes will be:
- Salt Lake City (SLC) to Honolulu (HNL)
- Sacramento (SMF) to Kauai (LIH)
- Sacramento (SMF) to Kona (KOA)
