A Hawaiian hula to the USA
SYDNEY – Hawaiian Airlines has cranked up airfare competition between Australia and the USA, launching a range of “Hula Your Way to the USA†fares to seven key mainland destinations– Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle and Sacramento.
The new fares, which start from A$1325 per person ex Sydney, enable travellers to enter the mainland through one gateway and fly home from another. As well, passengers can stop over in Hawaii.
“Hawaiian Airlines flies via Honolulu, which enables our passengers to clear US customs in Hawaii, then continue non-stop to their mainland destination with no further formalities on arrival,†said Sherilyn Robinson, Hawaiian Airlines sales and marketing manager Australia.
“Our passengers can enjoy the best of both worlds, as we also offer the exclusive option of a stopover in Hawaii either on the way to the mainland, on the way home, or both,†she said.
The “Hula Your Way to the USA†fares, in Economy Class, include taxes plus meals, drinks and mainscreen entertainment on Hawaiian’s flights between Sydney and Honolulu.
In addition, Hawaiian offers passengers travelling from Sydney a free luggage allowance of two checked items, each weighing up to 32 kilograms.
Hula fares can also be purchased from 17 other destinations around Australia:
The “Hula Your Way to the USA†fares are available for departures from 07 June until 24 September and from 07 October until16 December, 2009, and again from 13 January until 31 March 2010.
All travel must be booked and paid for by 24 July, 2009.
Hawaiian Airlines flies nonstop from Sydney to Honolulu every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evening, with connections from throughout Australia with partner airlines.
Hawaiian flights depart Sydney at 9.20pm, crossing the international dateline and arriving at 11.10am the same day.
