Lots of Hawaii, Mexico and Vegas Thanks To This Week's New Routes

Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we’ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.

· Virgin America:
We might have mentioned this earlier in the week, but when it comes new a new option from Virgin America it’s hard not too give it some extra attention. Get your sunblock and sombrero ready, as it’s time to head to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from San Francisco. Just in time to escape your family holiday traditions, the new flights will run five times a week beginning on December 2. After 2012 begins the flights will drop down to four times a week, but we’re not complaining—adios!

· Hawaiian Airlines:
Residents of the East Bay no longer need to go across a bridge to get to Hawaii, because Hawaiian Airlines is bringing nonstop flights in and out of Oakland beginning early next year. Things will head between Oakland and Maui four times a week beginning on January 11, and it will all happen thanks to some of the airline’s Boeing 767 aircraft. No need to plan your visit during the winter either, as this service is scheduled all year long. Flights leave the Bay Area around 8am, and you’ll be in paradise just in time for lunch—with a side of Mai Tai.

· Alaska Airlines:
There’s even more Hawaii news for residents of California this week, as Alaska Airlines is looking to boost existing service from spots like San Jose and Oakland. Each city already has nonstop options to the Big Island and Kauai, but now it looks like these flights will be an option each day of the week. The new flight capacity gets this bump beginning next March so dig out the snorkel supplies soon.

· Delta:
It’s been quite some time since Delta has flown to and from Fukuoka, but it looks like they’re back beginning at the end of December. Boeing 767s will be used on the new route, as the city in Japan is connected with Honolulu. Things are scheduled to run a few times per week, but things wrap up for the season at the beginning of April. However, as it stands now, the flights will be back once next summer rolls around.

· Allegiant Air:
Last week Allegiant Air was doing some new stuff here and there, and this week they’re back to connect Lexington, Kentucky and Knoxville, Tennessee with Las Vegas. The Kentucky flights begin on November 16 while Tennessee does its thing a couple days later on November 18. Flights are just over $100 each way—depending on your departure city—to help celebrate the new routes, so if you want to save some money now so you can loose it at the casino later give Allegiant a try.
