Hawaiian Airlines is one of the best known travel options to Hawaii, and has been recognized as so by Travel & Leisurefor the three years in a row.

We’re sure you’ve all seen the movies, and imagined it was you greeted by dozens of Hawaiian girls, who place leis over your shoulders and lean in for a quick kiss on the cheek. Ahhh… you think, as you sip that Mai Thai which has mysteriously appeared in your hand, and breathe in the warm tropic air. Suddenly, you’re reminded that air travel has never been this much fun– and hey, how would you get that unsealed glass of alcohol through customs anyway?

Wake up! It’s 2011 and flights to Hawaii can be just as boring/horrifying as flights to your soon-to-be mother-in-law’s on Great Aunt Matilda’s birthday. But… that’s every flight these days (maybe not every mother-in-law). Hawaiian Airlines gives a few options that may make you more comfortable, including an Airport Arrival Transfer with Optional Lei Greeting. Not too shabby for only $9.95 when you carpool back to the hotel in a shuttle.  Hey… it’s no Saved by the Bell episode, but close enough!

Although most airlines departing for Hawaii offer their own version of loyalty programs and all-inclusive package deals, Hawaiian Airlines has an extremely intuitive trip creator. Just to test its capabilities, we began planning a Hawaii honeymoon vacation package to Kauai using the Romantic Cupid theme– Hawaiian Airlines then generates a list of suggested activities. From this point, the entire itinerary is laid out; everything from hotels, restaurants, and even free activities, are a shopping cart click away.

Choose from themes like Cupid, Adventure, Artsy– whatever interests you! And don’t worry about impulse spending. Simply create a log-in for yourself, and save the trip in your account. Easy! And surprisingly very affordable. It seems that at least for now, Hawaiian Airlines is able to offer the best prices in terms of airfare. Not to say that you can’t get carried away with the “dream vacation”– these intuitive add-ons to your all inclusive travel package make it easy to overdo it.
