Re: Hawaii's Interisland Air War - Chapter 2
Regardless of whether you hate Go! and $19 airfares or not, the bottom line is this. More locals are flying interisland this year than they did a year ago when the lowest fare offered by the incumbents were at $79 a pop. And while the $19 and even the $39 fares may be here for only the short run until someone goes belly-up, I along with the thousands of interisland flyers will enjoy the ride.
I have 2 discount trips coming up over the holidays, one which I would not have taken had the fares been at the higher prices. Low fares are definitely a motivator and most customers don't care about loyalties to one airline over another because this is a pocketbook issue for the end users (and the airlines but in a different sense).
Enjoy the ride.
