Why are the air fares from Hawaii to the mainland higher than from the mainland to Hawaii?
We who live in Hawaii want cheaper fares from airlines to the mainland. There are really cheap flights/ specials to Europe all the time. Distance is the same. I can fly from Seattle to Hawaii for $188, same flight to Seattle is 3 to 5 times as much. WHY?
- Supply and Demand. We live here in Hawaii. And everything is more expensive than in the Mainland.
- Because you lose 4 hours flying to the mainland and they charge you a finders fee.
- Because people who live in Hawaii have a lotta $$$ so the airlines take advantage of that… I mean really Hawaii is very expensive, so ya gotta have some $$ to live there! But it is the most beautiful and my favorite state!
