Aloha is only selling the coupon books til August 30th of this year.
https://portal.alohaairlines.com/AlohaCoupon/ "Now through August 30th, we're offering a limited supply of Aloha Airlines 58th Birthday Inter-Island Coupons for just $58** one-way plus taxes and fees. Coupons are available in books of five, good for travel through June 15, 2005, have no blackout dates, no change fees and can earn AlohaPass miles with each use. Each book contains 5 N-fare one-way inter-island coupons valid only on Aloha Airlines." |
Can the book coupons be used by one married couple -- or would we each have to buy a book?
|
Glover, I think it is safe to assume that each individual coupon can be used by anyone, married or not - but I have been known to be wrong before.
|
Ah, but this time, sir, you are correct.

Hawai`i-based chatroom posters have been advising that each coupon is only good for one leg.
So if someone wanted to fly from Lihu`e to Hilo (like I do), it will take _2_ coupons to make the trek _each_ way -- because of the required stop at HNL. Argh! And in addition, the ads for the coupon books say "$58 one-way" in BIGGGGG print, then add "plus taxes and fees" in teeny-tiny print. Each ticket is actually $63.60. Most interesting...taking 4 of these special tickets to fly myself from Lihu`e to Hilo and back, totals $256 (and I'm stuck with that last ticket, unless I purchase an additional coupon book). If I book online with Aloha it's $208; online with Hawaiian it's $206 Happy Birthday, Aloha Airlines -- I'm sticking with Hawaiian Air! 8-) |
Auntie Maria is right--this coupon deal is deceptive --- those traveling from Kauai to Maui would require 2 coupons. This is not a good deal for a trip that requires a stopver in Honolulu.
In the "old days" the coupon books were very handy, only one coupon was required for any one way trip even if it included a stopover and advance reservations were not a necessity. Nowsdays it is sometimes tough to get a ticket on the exact flight you want, very frustrating for frequent travelers who fly around the state on business. |
