Monopoly

Of course, everything delayed and my survey report came on Monday.
I was excited to see the real boundary line, so I try to book Hawaiian Airlines.
Since sadly, Aloha airlines went out of business last year, now Hawaiian Airlines dominates
Honolulu - Big Island route.

More sadly, when this happens price jacks up.
I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw good time ( between 10 - 5 pm ) flight was as high as
$400+!!


My Son is coming back from San Francisco, one way for $230.00 next week!

Needless to say, Big Island - Honolulu is like 30 min flight.  ( actual flying time. )
It is ridiculous.  I wonder how local people can go back and forth between islands with
this touristy price?!

Hawaiian Airlines, please please have Kamaaina rate!!!
Until my husband retires, I have to go back and forth too!

To have cheaper rate, $238 including tax,  I had to get up 3:30 am in the morning,
left my house 3:50, got to the airport by 4:20.  My flight left at 5 am.
For this better rate, I had to go to Kahului, Maui first, then get off the plane,
then 10 min later, got back on exactly same plane?!  and flew back.
Took me about 2.5 hours with little delay on both departure.
By the time I came home was 9 pm.  Things I do for Hale Muu.

Anyway, why is this time of season so busy?
Rental car people said they are busier then Merry Monarch festival season!
Unfortunately, this time Big Island had rain storm for several days, but it still is an adventure packed beautiful place to visit!
