Best to book interisland flights now for October?
We are checking out Hawaiian Air and Aloha Air and have found $63 one way fares for October. We will be taking 3 one way trips and this seems to be a good price (based on my searches through fodors). Our mainland to Hawaii flights have been booked. Just wondering if it is too soon to book, based on the fact that the mainland flight times may shift as we get closer to our departure. Thanks!

The interisland flights get pretty busy around Ironman time. Personally, I would book now if the time you are going to be there is close to Ironman.
Aloha is under bankruptcy protection. I received an email from them a month ago indicating that.

Just an FYI. If you've got Frequent Flyer miles with any airline, check what they offer for InterIsland flights. We were able to use Northwest Airlines miles for a Roundtrip ticket on Hawaiian Airlines (HNL to Hilo) for only 5,000 miles.

I live on Oahu and have been wanting to get to Hilo again when thew lava starts it's major flow again. I hope I can use my NW FF miles on short notice.

when i went to hawaii in october a couple of years ago, i booked in advance just around this time.
there were a few open seats but not many. ironman folks were everywhere on the big island. there were road signs up warning motorists that folks were in training and to be alert for bikers on the road...
