Hi,

Compared to Hawai'ian, Go! is a new entrant to the Hawai'i market..

Also do know that Go! also tends to attract some passionate viewpoints in light of closure of what was then, the island's #2 carrier- Aloha Airlines..

I've flown Go! several times and HA more times than I can count (I am a Hawai'i resident).. Given that most all inter-island markets are in the :60 or less range, I personally do not find a whole lot of differentiation between them.. Yes, HA tends to have more frequency, and in major markets, uses larger aircraft, but again, given that the flight times are short (sub- one hour) I find that these flights are very utilitarian in nature.

If it were me, I'd take whomever presents you the best fare and times.

Travel Safe,

When I wrote this simple request, I wondered how long it would take for someone to find fault and post a snide/sarcastic response. It didn't take long - barely 12 minutes.

GOPBI - Thank you or your helpful comment.

It took me about 12 seconds to find reviews of Go airlines.....

Aloha, Jed3,

Come on over to the Hawaii forums. You'll find some lively discussions about the various island airlines and plenty of opinions.

I prefer HA, for numerous reasons.

Which island(s) will you be visiting?

Aloha

For our short OGG-KOA flight next January, we chose based largely on the type of plane. Preferred the larger ones used by HA. To others, it doesn't matter. Also carry-on and checked baggage rules are different.

Aloha, jet 83 and Sutter- We will be going to Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Kauai, Lanai, and Oahu. Looks interesting. Mahalo for asking and the info.

Numbat - Congratulations.

Aloha 'oe.

For our last HA interisland flights (back in April) we had a sched change. I was notified by email, a phone call and a text message, all with the new flight info and a phone number to call if the rebooked flight was not suitable. I thought that was pretty good customer service.

The boarding announcement for our HNL-LIH flight was something like this: " Hawaiian Airlines flight xx, to Lihue, will start boarding now. Please don't fall over each other."

You will find more info re: the two airlines on the (friendly) Hawaii forums.

Bad experience on GO delayed and canceled flights in dec 2012. Take Hawaiian airlines or Island Air instead
