I don't believe anyone will be taking a bus to Hawaii.

I'll take 1/3 the price for another mainline carrier any day, especially when I am buying multiple tickets for my family. I'm not about to pay an extra $2400 for 5000 eqm and elite security. We don't even sit in E+ when we all go together.

Although, to be honest, I probably would have paid an extra $100-200 per ticket, though (and felt like an idiot for doing it).
