    BY the way that Aloha Airlines Commercial was their 2004 Superbowl Ad
    https://youtu.be/ovHVOtwB1bE?si=LjVlgR5BpRokhc7w
    Aloha Airlines was an airline in the United States that operated passenger flights from 1946 until 2008.[1] It was headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii,[2] operating from its hub at Honolulu International Airport (now Daniel K. Inouye International Airport).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines

    According to AAA fares also found a coment from Winstoda in May 2003 on Flyer Talk dot com. He said “Remember, AAA still has cheap Aloha fares. $61.15 one way.”

    A roundtrip ticket between Honolulu and Maui was about $125

    Now its about $200 on Hawaiian ( early bird flight )…… Still a pretty good deal. I like hawaiiian. and often fly hawaiian and this is not a paid endorsement.
