Update 3: DEAD!

Update 2: The Washington DC-Denver flights are bookable on continental.com as a Continental codeshare on nonstop United flights for just $75 before tax or $96 Round-Trip with all taxes.  The same flights are hundreds more on the same exact nonstop United flights at united.com…Price mistake?

Update: Washington DC-Albuquerque is also available at the $75+ rate.

Now this is an interesting fare…Continental just partners up with United and then launches a ridiculously low fare between 3 of United’s hubs.

It’s bookable now on continental.com

Valid for travel between 12/02/09-02/10/10.

The base fare is just $75 Round Trip before taxes and $115 with taxes!

Sample valid dates: 12/08-12/15

Update 2: DEAD!

Update-12:25pm: The fare is now bookable, but seats can be quite hard to find.

Here are some sample dates:

MSP-HNL: 07/09-07/22.

SLC-HNL: 05/12-05/20.

USAirways just filed a $229+ fare, which is about $285 with tax from nearly all of Delta’s and Northwest’s hubs to Honolulu!

Tickets should be bookable very soon on usairways.com!

Update: DEAD!

United filed a cheap Hawaii fare this morning from Continental’s hubs, and Continental has responded by filing a cheap fare from USAirways’ hubs.
Doesn’t make sense to me either, (preparing for a United/USAir merger?) but I’ll take it anyway!

Pittsburgh-Honolulu is $219+ RT
Philadelphia-Honolulu is $251+ RT
Charlotte-Honolulu is $261+ RT

Taxes will add about $45 depending on the routing.

All fares are now bookable for travel from 08/08 through 03/09. There is a 3 day minimum stay counting from time of departure. There seems to be good availability and all fares were available for the sample dates that I checked of 09/09/08-09/16/08 and 01/13/08-01/20/08 at continental.com

Update: DEAD!

Valid for travel though 02/09.
Sample valid trips currently bookable on United.com:
Newark (EWR)-Kauai (LIH) from 09/02/08-09/09/08 for $272 including all taxes.
Houston (IAH)-Honolulu(HNL) from 01/20/09-01/27/09 for $287 including all taxes.

From Newark you should easily be able to get over 10K elite qualifying miles with this fare. You generally need to earn a minimum of 25K elite qualifying miles in a calender year to earn elite status.

If we’re lucky this will set off a response from Continental to set off a new, long-awaited round of hub-war fares to Hawaii! For you Chicago and DC folks-Stay tuned!

HT: Yossi.

Earlier today USeless Airways published cheap fares to/from Hawaii and all 3 of Continental’s hubs throughout the end of their schedule.

I didn’t post it because it was a fake, they had published a great fare but they allocated exactly zero seats to the sale!

Nevertheless Continental felt the need to protect its fortress hubs and just matched all 3 of the fares. And they actually had the class to allocate seats to the sale fares!

One way to find dates that still have the cheap seats is by using Orbitz.com’s flexible search option.

Just go to flexible dates, and try using option 3-”Flexible Stays.” You can then specify your desired length of stay and month of travel. You should be able to find the fare via this method.

Good luck!

It all started when Virgin America announced that they would fly LAX-SFO for $44.

Last week I posted Southwest’s 8 free credits/double miles promo celebrating their new flights from S. Francisco starting at $39.

Not to be outdone, United started a double miles promo for intra-california flights.

And AA wasn’t too far behind with their own double miles promo.

It all comes full-circle now, as Southwest has announced a promo for a free systemwide ticket if you fly 3 intra-california flights!

I love hub attacks, it’s quite fun to watch the airlines battle back and forth with ridiculously low prices.

Yesterday AA and NWA published $118+ fares from NYC-MKE.

Apparently Midwest didnt take too kindly to this attack on their primary hub as they have just responded with $118+ fares from into their hubs.
Give it until 4:00pm or so for these fares to take effect.
