Island Air
Island Air allows 50 pounds per person for checked bags, instead of the 50 pounds each bag. I don't think that we will exceed that but we could. Since there are five of us, it seems to make more sense to pay $54 per segment than $83 on Aloha, even if we have to pay a $20 to $40 overage in wt. Any opinions on Island Air? We will be flying from Lihue to Kahului.

I love Island Air and their planes!
So much newer than Aloha's jets.
Fyi, IslandAir's website is currently showing $39 one way flights for some of its routes/flights.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a way either, except that on the page before the pricing page (the one with the flight listing) some are listed as "Web special" and it looks to me like the $39 ones are listed as "Super Web Special" or some such.
Inefficient, yes.

But yes, that would be an annoyance in any case.
