With gas prices rising, the cost on airline tickets has risen as well. In an effort to make the prices look affordable, many airlines have tacked on hidden costs by charging extra for baggage. Make sure you include these charges, when you are calculating Hawaii Island Travel costs. Here is a list of airlines that travel to Hawaii and what their checked baggage policy is:American Airlines - $15.00 for the first bag each way. $25.00 for the 2nd bag each way.
Continental Airlines - $15.00 for the first bag each way. $25.00 for the 2nd bag each way.
Delta Airlines - $15.00 for the first bag each way. $25.00 for the 2nd bag each way.
Go!Airlines - $10.00 for the first bag each way $17.00 for the 2nd bag each way.
Hawaiian Airlines - $15.00 for the first bag each way. $25.00 for the 2nd bag each way for flights between the continental U.S. and Hawaii. $17.00 for inter island flights.
Island Air - first bag is free, $25.00 for the 2nd thru 4th bag each way.
Northwest Airlines - $15.00 for the first bag each way. $25.00 for the 2nd bag each way.
United Airlines - $15.00 for the first bag each way. $25.00 for the 2nd bag each way.
US airways -$15.00 for the first bag each way. $25.00 for the 2nd bag each way.
Exceptions to these policies include First or Business Class and customers who purchase full-fare economy tickets.
Most airlines will charge a fee if the bags weigh more than 50 pounds. If you are planning to bring 3 bags or more per person, additional costs may be as high as $125. Four bags may be $200. Golf clubs or surf boards are considered a second bag.
I recommend packing lightly to have the best Hawaii travel. Take a carry on along with one large suitcase. One bag is allowed so long as it does not exceed 45 inches when you add the length +width + Height so that it fits in an overhead bin or under the seat. Personal items - includes backpack, purse, briefcase, laptop or a similar item such as book bag or tote that does not exceed 36 inches.
