Just checked Hawaiian Airlines inter-island fares. They matched Southwest on all routes. My wife and I can fly from Kona to Honolulu in May for $115.00 total for the two of us. Tried the same thing out of Hilo and it was over $400.00. With that amount of savings...it's worth the drive. Southwest....the way it's set up now...will not be a dedicated inter-island airline like Hawaiian. ... It's an inter-island shuttle service for their Trans-Pacific flights, with HNL being the main station.
