Allegiant Air to offer L.A.

Comparing Mainland flights to inter-island is not a valid comparison. For starters, a mainlander coming here on vacation has to factor in the total cost of the vacation which includes meals,Dutch Lions continue win streak, hotels, car rentals,[1],Redskins 11 Devin Thomas white Jerseys, etc. Airfare is only a fraction of that total cost. Kama'aina visiting someone else on a neighbor island has the cost of airfare as the major expense. You are also assuming that Alegiant will bring lower fares on routes that are competitive like LAX-HNL. That is true as other like HA and AA will offer some of their seats to match Allegiant. But long-term below market low fares can't be sustained. Eventually, someone gives up or suspends the route, like Alegiant has already done. Just look at HA's HNL-JFK route. When it launched last June it was 7 days a week but starting in September it is cutting back to 5 days a week. Was there a net increase in Northeast vacationers to Hawaii over the past year at a greater percentage than the rest of the Mainland because these additional seats were added? Or did the folks who used to transfer in Chicago,Raiders 20 McFadden black field shadow Jerseys, or LA, or Dallas on AA or DL just move over to HA? Look, I appreciate the point your making. My beef is with the HTA that takes the number of seats added and says look at all the spending and taxes we will get. They assume that all the new seats will be incremental visitors, none of whom would have otherwise come to Hawaii at that time. If the new route was to a new city I could go along. But the new route is from LAX which already serves Hawaii heavily. on July 9,[2],2013 | 09:24AM</html>
