Hawaii Travel: Checked Bag Fees Now Flying in the Islands

July 16, 2008 at 12:30 PM | 1 Comment

Starting August 10, your first checked bag on Hawaiian airline go! will cost $10 and the second piece of luggage will cost $17. Guess the carrier figures there's not really any goodwill to lose.

Meanwhile, Delta has announced that it's still holding off on adding a checked baggage charge, while potential merger partner Northwest recently announced a $15 fee for the first bag.

To keep up on all the latest fees, your best bet is Rick Seaney's Domestic Airline Fee Chart, which is always up-to-date.

    As we've reported before, the best deal through September 30 for Oahu-Maui travel, is Superferry, which is $98 round trip.  But you must book by August 4.  

    Hawaiian and Go! are doing the same duopoly that Hawaiian and Aloha did for years.  The average round trip is now back at about $200, which was what it was before go entered and sometimes dropped prices to below $20 round trip.  

    Given that Go! (Mesa) is still teetering on bankruptcy, and the Superferry has an untenable situation for a variety of reasons (including estimated 3x the fuel consumption per passenger as airlines), it is entirely likely that other changes to the Hawaii travel market will be coming soon.

    We follow it regularly with advice to travelers.
