WN needs to start flying redeyes from Hawaii to California, both for better aircraft utilization and to facilitate connections to points further east.

it’s got to do with the long term effects of competition there’s a finite number of seats. When another party jumps to the table, everyone else gets less pizza. BTW, LUV is down too.

I almost made a rookie error. I delayed booking the companion tickets for an hour. I must have gotten one of the last seats, because one direction is completely sold out on a post-booking fare check. Whew! The direction that's not sold out is $100 more than what I paid. This is almost as crazy at tickets to a hot concert.

By the time I got 1 seat, the companion seats were sold out.

The stock is down, along with the rest of the sector because of speculation as to how this news will affect the other carriers. The point remains... when Southwest sells out of their artificially low and unrealistic fares, their two other fare categories are significantly higher than Hawaiian's lowest fares. Since Hawaiian offers roughly 175 flights/day within the market, with practically hourly and sometimes 3-4 times/hr service there will be more cheap seats offered by HAL than Southwest. And this is without HAL even lowering fares. The Hawaiian fare gouging is a fallacy.

Just curious, how do you know what the fares will be when the "artificially low" rates sell out. I have looked at tons of dates using 8 passengers, trying to find what the rates will go up to, and still the most expensive flight I can find is $59. The least expensive I can find on HA is $79.

Investors clearly aren't that smart.

Of course SWA can fully allocate 175 of its seats for the majority of its inter-island flights against Hawaiian's 128-seat 717s.

WN may be holding back on its big promotional splash until there is a sufficient level of service to meet the anticipated demand.

Can't find anything direct from SAN on any future date, only OAK and the 2 from SJC. I'm hopeful they roll out non stop from SAN and cities other than OAK and SJC.

I'm also hopeful that this is the situation that gets Southwest to change their policy on single ticket bookings with long layovers. Having to book multiple reservations because your first flight arrives late in the evening and the next flight is early the next morning is getting old, and in some cases expensive.

This.

Tons of flights that were $99 this morning are 100% sold out now. Whole weeks of OAK-HNL are sold out. I didn't look at every citypair but I'm guessing the result is the same on all routes.

I understand that locals tend to book "last-minute". The $29 WGA inter-island fares will be gone by then. The Anytime and BS fares are priced higher than HAL. Thus, I don't think WN will be capturing the local market.

We might be coming at this from different angles, but what I'm seeing is plain as day on the website, there are 3 fare options. When the cheapest one is sold out, one will only have the more expensive fares, which are both higher than HAL. Only Southwest and their revenue management system knows how many seats are available at the lowest fares.

This is interesting as the Anytime and BS fares were ~$600 one way. Something else must be going on here.

This proves my point. When the intro fares are gone, Southwest isn't the cheaper option.

I have never understood WN to work this way though. Usually the Wanna Getaway fare just goes up, not goes away. That is like comparing apples to oranges comparing the different fare classes to HA.
