I’ve always been accused of being nomadic. 😀

Having Alaska Airlines “absorbing” Hawaiian Airlines is a good thing not just for the new destinations that will be available in Asia and the South Pacific but also for U.S, Alaska and Hawaiian routes….more non-stops and more options in general.



“Alaska Air, which operates more than 200 Boeing jets, has been expanding beyond its historic footprint serving the Pacific Northwest. In 2016 it acquired Virgin America.

Taking over Hawaiian would expand Alaska Airlines’ reach to destinations in Asia, including Australia and Japan, that it currently doesn’t directly serve. Alaska Airlines has an existing partnership with American Airlines, launched in 2020.”
Alaska Air has(had?) a reputation as the best maintained fleet in the air... and Hawaiian is worst. Makes you wonder how that will settle out.

It will be interesting to see how it will affect inter-island fares. They have been brutal at times.
