HAWAIIAN
AIRLINES
Founded in 1929 during the days of the amphibian
Sikorsky biplane, Hawaiian Airlines was the first air
carrier in the Pacific territory. It is the oldest and
largest Hawaiian carrier serving the islands of Kauai,
Lanai, Maui, Molokai and the Big Island of Hawaii from
its Honolulu hub. It provides daily flights to and
from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas,
and Portland, Oregon, daily services to six Hawaiian
Islands, and a weekly service to the South Pacific
destinations of Tahiti and American Samoa. In its
70-year history, Hawaiian Airlines has carried more
than 100 million passengers without a single air
fatality.
In 1993, it entered
into a series of marketing and services agreements
with American Airlines' parent AMR Corp. As a result,
Hawaiian converted its reservation and operating
computer system to American's SABRE system, and became
a participating carrier in American's AAdvantage
Travel Awards program.
Hawaiian is replacing
its wide-body fleet of DC-10 with 767-300ER aircraft
for its long-haul flights and replacing its DC-9
aircraft with Boeing 717 for its inter-island
flights.
Some say it's the best
food they've ever had anywhere, let alone on an
airline. Delicious creations like Chilled Ginger
Shrimp, Luau-Style Mahi Mahi, and Herbed Orange Roughy
with Garlic Black Bean Sauce will tempt your palate
and challenge your image of airplane food.
Each of the Hawaiian
Islands offers its own special charm. To experience
all Hawaii has to offer at an affordable price, HA
offers visitors the Hawaiian Island Pass. An Island
Pass provides unlimited inter-island jet travel on
Hawaiian Airlines. The Hawaiian Island Pass is offered
to nonresidents of the State of Hawaii for five-day,
seven-day, ten-day and fourteen-day travel periods.
Travel is unlimited within those consecutive days. For
example, if you purchase the five-day pass and
activate it on Monday, you can fly inter island as
many times as you'd like through Friday. Also,
Hawaiian Airlines has a promotion that includes a 5%
discount for buying tickets online.
Hawaiian has been
rated one of the "10 Best" U.S. airlines by readers of
CondŽ Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure for the
past several years and also won Best Overall honors in
the "Premium" category of the 2001 Zagat Survey of
U.S. airlines.
