Get ready to use your Southwest frequent flyer mileage to Hawaii. Looks like they'll have flights from Love field as well.

Absolutely... With only one interisland carrier currently (Hawaiian Air) price gouging is ridiculous.

Southwest Airlines completes test flight to Hawaii
So what, dozens airlines fly to Hawaiian Islands .................. ::)

If by dozens, you mean five, then yes, dozens fly.
The five domestic carriers that fly to Hawaii are:
Alaskan airlines
Hawaiian Airlines
American Airlines
United Airlines
Delta Airlines
So why does Southwest matter? Because in every market they enter, prices drop. They're the largest low cost airline in the world. The one place they didn't fly in the US, that their customers most often requested is Hawaii. For inter island flights, there is only one airline, Hawaiian, so competition is welcome.

Air New Zealand, Quanta, Jal, and Singapore don't fly from the mainland to the islands. They only fly international flights. These are internal domestic flights.
Mokulele's fleet consists of 15 Cessna Grand caravans. That's not real competition for Southwest.

Hawaii is an overrated tourist trap. Basic items cost a fortune. Stay away. Rent a couple high priced hookers instead... money much better spent.

British Airways fly to Hawaii, I remember looking it up when I was imagining what it would be like to be able to have money and go to nice places on holiday rather than sleeping in the garden on a warm day here.
-
Nearly everyone I know who’s gone to Hawaii for vacation stays at some fancy all-inclusive resort and does a single ‘volcano adventure tour’ so they can post pics on social media. The beaches look rocky and terrible, the water looks brown, the waves look dangerous and it all just seems like you go to Hawaii to add it to your bucket list. For a 10 hour flight and half the money, I’d bet Croatia would be just as beautiful and more fun.

Haha sleeping in the garden on a hot summers day is awesome one of life’s greatest pleasures

Yeah, super idea: 1st fly with Quantas or Singapore A. or British to LAX , then fly back to Honolulu with SWA ;) :D :P
Just 3 days of clouds scenery & remember QUANTAS never crash.
or should I go with Air New Zealand from Sydney>Auckland>Cooks>Papeete, then Papeete > Honolulu :)

8) Yeah, my 2nd last girlfriends family use to own 9 seat-er VHN , now french made 11 seats 1 .............
fast as fuck, but too many refueling landings on long flights .

let's hope these new boeing 737 MAX don't crash after take off like the Indonesian Lion Air....I hope they sue Boeing for killing 189 souls. Boeing refuse to take blame for failing to properly train or warn pilots of this automation issue which proved to be deadly.....let's hope they fix it before it happens again

Jetstar and AirAsia X both fly to Honolulu, which creates low cost routes from the US to Osaka or Melbourne. Southwest also connects with Norwegian air on the East coast going to Europe.
