Hawaiian Airlines will be starting daily service from Oakland to Honolulu on May 1st. The press release says that Hawaiian's Flight 47 will depart Oakland daily at 9:00 a.m. and arrive in Honolulu at 11:05 a.m. Return Flight 48 will depart Honolulu daily at 1:30 p.m. and arrive in Oakland at 9:25 p.m.

Tickets went on sale this morning. We had 9 people traveling on ATA this June. Five of us have already rebooked on American from SFO, but I called to price HA tickets for the remaining four. For the dates we needed in June, the price for OAK-HNL was $1049.90; for OAK-LIH the price was $1611.90. (That's per ticket!)

I haven't been able to check on the HA website yet-- they haven't added Oakland to their dropdown menu. I may try to call back later this morning to doublecheck on the prices. The agent I spoke with first told me that Hawaiian didn't fly from Oakland. After I told her about the new flights, she pulled up the prices. Maybe she entered something incorrectly in the system... or maybe Hawaiian thinks they can get those prices since they will now be the only carrier flying to Hawaii from Oakland.

I also tried to rebook some ATA tickets from OAK to HNL on Hawaiian this morning. Wasn't able to do it on line. I'm not surprised that they are so pricey - those of us in Seattle have been shelling out those fares for a while since our non-stop options from here are limited to Alaska, Hawaiian and NWA.

My relatives from OAK are going to stop gloating over their cheap airfare. Too bad.

I am one of the many ATA victims... We were supposted to fly from Oakland to Kona next saturday... Thanks to my brother, who was able to use his 150,000 mileage to get us two 1st class tickets (we have to buy two ecomony ones). Otherwise, we can't afford the current airfare.
When there is no competitor out there, you can imagine the price won't be competitive....
We may have to give Hawaiian airline some time to figure out the market to set the price right.
