Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines are offering $39.50 one-way interisland fares to stimulate travel in the slow season.
Aloha started it Monday with a "free return flight" offer, in which the return leg of travel between Honolulu and key neighbor island locales (traveling either way) is free provided one leaves on the first flight of the morning and returns on the last flight of the evening.
Hawaiian responded Tuesday with a "half-price" offer of $39.50, effectively the same offer except that travelers have the option of taking savings in only one direction in exchange for leaving later or returning earlier.
On Tuesday night, Aloha replied that it will not be undersold and therefore would match the Hawaiian offer.
Both airlines posted details, including restrictions, on their Web sites www.hawaiianair.com and www.alohaair.com but the main restrictions are blackout dates around Thanksgiving and Christmas and a requirement to book the travel online to reap the full benefit. Taxes and fees are extra.
