Hawaiian Airlines celebrates Four Years in Australia with Special Fares to Hawaii

It is four years since Hawaiian Airlines launched nonstop flights from Australia to Hawaii – and to celebrate, the airline has introduced special “La Hanau”, or birthday, fares to Honolulu and the neighbour islands of Maui, Kauai and The Big Island of Hawaii.

The “La Hanau” roundtrip specials from Sydney to Honolulu are priced from just A$799 plus taxes of approximately A$382 for low season travel from 1 - 9 December, 2008, and 1-28 February, 2009. Flights to neighbour islands are available from an additional A$75 one-way, plus taxes.

“When we started flying from Sydney to Hawaii in May, 2004, the Australian dollar was worth US$0.77 cents,” said Sherilyn Robinson, Sales and Marketing Manager Australia for Hawaiian Airlines. “Today, the dollar is floating between US$0.90 and US$0.95 cents – and there is so much more to see and do, from surfing and shopping to touring, a spot of golf or a choice of cultural events.”

Hawaiian’s Le Hanau fares are based on Wednesday evening departures from Sydney. Shoulder season fares of A$915 plus taxes are available for travel from 9 May – 16 June 2008, 21 July – 19 September, 2008 and 13-31 October, 2008, and again from 16 - 31 January, 2009. Fares must be booked and paid for by 27 June, 2008. Seats are limited at these prices, taxes can change without notice and some conditions apply.

Hawaiian Airlines offers three weekly nonstop flights from Sydney to Honolulu, and connecting service with Virgin Blue from 19 other Australian destinations. Members of the Hawaiian Airlines loyalty programme HawaiianMiles or the Virgin Blue loyalty programme Velocity can earn and redeem loyalty points on all Hawaiian Airlines flights.
