Looks like WP is looking for ways to raise revenue:
How can I make a reservation?
Booking a reservation is easy. Log onto islandair.com and click the "Reservations" option or call 484-2222 (O'ahu), 800-652-6541 (neighbor islands and North America). Effective May 15, 2009, a booking fee of $5 will apply for all new reservations made through Island Air’s call center. (Fee is per booking, not per passenger.)
:snip:
Charges effective May 15, 2009
2nd checked bag and higher - $35 per piece
http://www.islandair.com/about-faq.asp
So call center bookings go from $0 -> $5 per ressie
2nd checked bag fees go from $25 -> $35
At least there's still no first checked bag fees.
Here's a comparison of the airlines for interisland travel:
Airline // First Checked Bag Fee // Second Checked Bag Fee // Call Center Ticketing Fee
Island Air (WP) // $0 // $35 // $5
Mokulele Airlines (MW) // $0 // $17 // $5
go! Airlines (YV) // $10 // $17 // $0
Hawaiian (HA) // $0* // $17* // $10*
*For interisland fights only
