Oahu Vacation Package
BA Flying Empty 'Ghost Planes' Across Atlantic
Unbelievable... and yet the airlines still complain about about rising oil prices?
Airlines Cut Costs By Flying with Less Fuel
Rrrrright. What could possibly go wrong?
Escape Reality
Shopping for your Hawaii vacation can be a perplexing experience - the main reason why most Hawaii packages are still booked through a travel agent. It's true that a good, experienced, willing-to-dig agent is still a great way to secure a deal on cheap vacations, but nowadays your online resources may work just as well - maybe even better.
1. 4vacations.com - You pick the flight and hotel you want from their easy to use interface, and 4vacations.com submits it to over 70 travel agencies who in turn bid their lowest price ( all done on their site - no e-mail involved). The response time is quick, there's no service charges, and they have a toll-free support line. Quite an exciting new idea, and they've been getting excellent customer feedback too.
2. priceline.com - Like their air & hotel packages, you stand a pretty good chance of bidding for and winning very cheap flights and hotels on priceline.com. A recent check showed over 250 hawaiian vacation packages up for bidding. Because they are a high volume/low price business, customer support can be spotty at times.
3. Hawaiin Airlines - Well laid-out, easy to navigate site offers vacation packages in addition to airline only reservations..
4. travelocity.com - Travelocity has recently re-designed their whole website, including the cruise section. It's a very attractive and useable site, where everything seems to be right at your fingertips or only 1 click away.
Getting the Best Deal
Being departure city and time/date specific will limit the number of specials coming your way. So if you have fixed dates for travel, or if you are intent on seeing a certain geographical area, the deals will not come to you. A very effective way of hunting down cheap Oahu vacation packages is to bookmark a number of websites that you can start checking on every week. Keep going back, keep your eyes wide open, and sign up for e-mail alerts and free subscription specials.
