We knew it was coming. After Aloha shuttered and with go! apparently on the rocks, you can't blame Hawaiian Air for raising prices on interisland travel. Considerably. We noticed prices had gone up before this announcement but this seems to make it official. The article says $5 to $20 higher per segment. I have found that it probably is more than that, plus fuel surcharges. Bottom line - expect to pay $100 more round trip, minimum, for future interisland travel. This should also further the move by visitors away from island hopping and towards non-stop flights to the Outer Islands. Net loser in all of this is probably Oahu.
