I meant aircraft in general. If the prices of one starts going up too much, it’s cover for everyone else to raise prices too. Just how it works here with everything.
Southwest has been consistently cheaper and remained cheaper for a very long time.
Hawaiian sells mostly to tourists and seem to cater to an older more 'luxury' crowd.
I’m not disputing your point, but pricing is relative, and if the lack of competition between Alaskan and Hawaiian results in their prices eventually going up, then it’s possible that Southwest’s prices, while still being cheaper, will also go up.
I mean it could be, but then, why doesn't SW just raise prices now to meet Hawaiian?
Hawaiian is very expensive and has not so many flights. I'm doing big island to Oahu at least 3-6 times a year and I almost never take Hawaiian because its always more expensive. Local kine always seem to go SW for like, sports games, visit family etc.
I think Hawaiian is just for tourists. They buy Hawaiian cus they dont know better and Hawaiian is better at marketing the off island flights.
I’m understanding now where the dingdong part of your name comes from.
edit: honestly tho, it’s amazing that “I’m not disputing your point” and “while still being cheaper” apparently didn’t get across to you.
Obviously, if Southwest raised their prices to match Hawaiian now or at any time, then they would no longer be the cheaper alternative, duh. If Hawaiian and Alaskan decide to raise their prices enough, Southwest can also raise their prices and still be the cheaper alternative. This isn’t hard to understand.
Expecting nothing to change in the future just makes it hard for me to believe that you and I live in the same state, watching the same financial trends.
