Deal or No Deal?
Today we dissect a package from Pleasant Hawaiian holidays, they’re offering a Fly/Drive deal for $289 round-trip from San Francisco or Los Angeles. The price includes a car for 3 days. Is this deal for real? Can they really do it for that price? Listen and find out as we talk about this deal and others.
We go over packages today that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours so if you’re planning a trip to the islands this is a great segment to hear what people are paying for their Hawaii vacations. We take this opportunity to thank new customers and also the great Hawaii-Aloha who booked them.
This year in addition to opening our Christmas and Hanukkah presents, Yaling and I have been busy finding out about all of the great deals that are beginning to surface for vacations to Hawaii. We talk about the low air fares that we’re seeing from the East Coast, including airfare for only $414 from Washington, DC. We also discuss how cruises are a great deal with inside cabins going for as low as $1000 per person. We’ve not seen pricing like this for over a year for the NCL ships. We also talk about cruises for 2009 and give a quick snapshot of some of the dates and cruises that are available from the mainland for next year.

We discuss some of the main points that were brought out in an article recently written by blogger Sheila Beal from govisithawaii.com , she interviewed some of Hawaii’s top experts to see if she could get a handle on where things are going for the tourism market for Hawaii next year. While we’re not in 100% agreement with everything in the article most of it is right on target.
