Good morning,

 

Any word or best "guess'timate" on when SW will start offering the flights to Hawaii? I'm looking to book soon for early next year. Any information is appreciated. Thank you!

Well no one know fo sure. SW has said that flights will begin next year, but hasn't said exactly when flgiths will be announced..

 

Part of the problem is that the decision is not totally within Southwest's control. The feds have to certify the aircraft for extended over water operation (ETOPS), and that has not yet happened.

 

Since I suspect that Hawaii is a big deal to the airline, I expect a big media splash as soon as everything's a go. I doubt that you'll miss it.

We, also would like to book a flight on SW to Hawaii - but we're going in late November of this year - from the sounds of it we shouldn't wait?  Flights won't beging going there until next year?

We are also hoping to go in Nov this year during Thanksgiving. We fly out of SMF and fares on Alaska and Hawaiin are $1700+ right now, so keeping fingers crossed that an announcement is made and flights start before then.
