Can anyone confirm that HA will be increasing the fees that are charged to change flight times, dates and interisland tickets will now be non-refundable.

Traveled to HNL in January and while waiting for my flight, some HA agents at the boarding gate were discussing penalty increases that will be effective on Feb. 1. I wonder if AQ will follow suit if this is true.

Aloha
