Excellent point. HAL fares to Hilo can get steep during Merrie Monarch.

So, same dates for

SWA Tulsa-Lubbock: $635.36
HAL HNL-Hilo: 209.94

Unless there's an international festival in Lubbock this week I didn't hear about!

Omaha-Kansas City? $779.36

Guys, you're missing the point. There's this myth that HAL overcharges on interisland fares, when all the evidence says this isn't true.

Someone will find a $49 fare from somewhere to somewhere, and that's great. I'm just trying to be Joe Q. Public here and pretend I need to get somewhere on Monday morning.

So long as SWA keeps doing what it's doing with the fare structure, there's room for everyone.
