Compare all Fees to Find Lowest Airfares Online
If you’re traveling to Hawaii from the US mainland after October 1 on Hawaiian Airlines and haven’t purchased your tickets, be prepared to pay $15 for your first checked bag. Inter-island flights are not affected by the new fees for the first checked bag - but for a second checked bag, Hawaiian already charges $17 on inter-island flights and $25 on flights from the mainland.
Hawaiian Airlines joins a rapidly growing list of airlines who are charging fees for checked luggage, limiting carry-on luggage, adding costs for “preferred seats” and exploring other ways to add to their bottom line while remaining “competitive” on fares.
Finding the lowest fares online is hard enough without having to check and compare each airline’s policy on fees for checked luggage and soft drinks. The situation is worse when you’ve already purchased your ticket and discover that a decent seat assignment will cost more.
