Go, Aloha, Hawaiian, or Island?

Hey Everyone

I am planning a trip to Hawaii and will spending time on more than one
island. Just wondering which airline I should select for my inter-
island flight, Go, Hawaiian, Aloha, or Island?

Thanks

The trips between islands aren't really that far for it to matter much.

Just flew inter island last week, prices seem to about the same, but
Hawaiian seem to be on time more than the others

It's been a while since we've been so this may have changed but some
airlines fly larger planes than others. For us that made a difference
since my wife won't fly commuter planes.

I am planning a trip to Hawaii for this coming may was thinking about
using a commuter airline like GO. I say this simply, as it may be
quicker (smaller plane, smaller terminal, and so on).

I used GO for my trip between Oahu and the Big Island. It happened to
be on the day of the big earthquake. Hawaiian and Aloha were totally
locked up for hours. GO figured out quickly how to get going once
flights were cleared to go to Kona. With computers down, they decided
to rely on the "honor system" to let people on flights, putting people
in groups of 50 according to the flights they originally held seats on.
It went well, and we got on the 3rd flight out, which was still before
Hawaiian or Aloha got their first flights out. It was the advantage of
being a small airline that got them working. GO is part of Mesa
Airlines, I believe. Their CRJs were just fine for interisland flights.

I remember it wasn't a commuter plane that had part of the fuselage rip
away on an Hawaian flight.

It wasn't but that was an unusual incident. It hasn't been a problem
arranging flights on a carrier that uses larger planes so it's not
worth fighting the fight. I never researched it but we usually travel
with the maximum amount of luggage and I don't know if that would be a
problem on a commuter plane.

We've never had to fly a commuter plane anywhere so I'm not familiar
with them.

Yeah, but the pax certainly had a spectacular view of the island
scenery.
Can't imagine why more airlines haven't adopted the same 'open canopy'
service.

Actually, it was an Aloha Airlines 737-200. Hardley a "commuter plane."

Yes, it was unusual. But any airline "incident" is, thankfully, unusual. The
problem here was that the airplane was 20+ years old and had corrosion
issues. AFAIK, it was the only incident involving an inter-island airline
flight in Hawaiian (the state, not the airline) history. And probably the
only commercial fatality on either Hawaiian Airlines or Aloha Airlines.
