Hawaiian Airlines launches Three City US Promotion in Australia

Hawaiian Airlines has intensified the competition for travel to the US mainland with its new range of “Catch the Wave” air fares from Australia - now reduced by almost $200 and with more advantages thrown in.

From only $965 per person, plus taxes of $365, travellers can fly from Sydney to Honolulu , then on to one of seven destinations on the US mainland - Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle or Sacramento - then home from the same city or another.

In addition to extending this fare for travel until 9 December 2009, Hawaiian also offers a convenient US Customs arrival point, with flights from Australia landing in Honolulu mid-morning, after the peak arrival period.

“Entering the USA in Honolulu is an easy and convenient option for Hawaiian Airlines passengers from Australia, as theirs is one of the few long haul flights to arrive mid morning,” said Sherilyn Robinson, Sales and Marketing Manager Australia for Hawaiian Airlines.

“Once they clear US Customs, travellers can stay in Hawaii, then fly on to the mainland later, or connect within hours to an onward Hawaiian service to the mainland, where there are no further arrival formalities.”

In addition to the immigration convenience, Hawaiian’s passengers have the ability to fly from Honolulu to one US mainland destination and depart from another, enabling them to maximise their American holiday experience.

“No other carrier from Australia to the USA can offer three cities for the price of one – two mainland destinations plus Honolulu,” added Ms Robinson.

In addition to the wide variety of travel options, Hawaiian includes in its fares from Australia meals, refreshments and main screen entertainment, plus one of the most generous free baggage allowances available on any airline – two 32 kilogram items per passenger.

From Sydney fares start from $965 plus taxes while from Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Canberra, Coffs Harbour, Hervey Bay, Mackay, Port Macquarie or Ballina the fare starts from $1,115 plus taxes.

From Adelaide, Albury, Hobart, Launceston, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton or Proserpine the fare begins at $1,385 plus taxes and $1,465 plus taxes from Perth.

Seats are limited at these prices and some conditions apply. Tickets must be booked and paid for by 31 May 2009.
