Friends that live on Kauai say this summer has been packed. Hotels are expected to have high occupancy rates through the holidays. Demand is definitely up this year according to them. Not sure how it is on the other islands. I think that Southwest's entry to the market and adding more capcity is going to bring prices down and drive more people to go there.

On the other hand Southwest is not adding any premium seats to the market. Years ago it was pretty much a guaranteed EXP upgrade LAX-LIH. Since the A321's have come online I often struggle to even find an F seat for sale.
