Is that the same thing as an inter-island flight? I always thought a courier flight was when people were hired by a courier service to deliver parcels to certain destinations.

Margaret, if you feel like you are getting a good deal that's fine. On the Aston web site for islander on the beach they offer a garden room during your Feb stay period at a price of $78 for making the arrangements on the web. An ocean view room is $113. So that's either $312 or $452 depending on what you choose. Here's the site:

The studio at the Maui Isalander with a car including taxes is $135 per night for a total of $675. web site for this is:

You won't get a lot of support on this board for Travel Agents as most of us know that there are better deals out there to be had if you check around. As stated before, interisland travel is about $50 or $60 per trip. If you are flying from VA to Honolulu you would have to take an interisland flight to get to Maui or Kauai. If you can fly from VA directly to Maui that would save you some $.

I think you can see that your accomodations amount to about $1000 which means that your flight(s) are costing about $1500. If you feel it's worth the money to pay your travel agent for these services that's fine. There probably won't be a lot of calls to Arte from foderites. Best of luck to you on your vacation. Hawaii is a great vacation spot isn't it?

It's a flight between the islands.
