Getting the Best Rates for Your Hawaii Vacation

May 29th, 2008

The odds against getting a great last-minute deal on a Hawaii trip are about the same as your teenager bringing your car home on time.  You’d better not depend on it.

By all means, plan in advance and use a travel agent. Agent commissions are paid by the airlines, hotels, and attractions they book for you, and what’s booked is always YOUR choice.  Be sure to use a HAWAII-BASED travel agent. Hawaii Aloha Travel agents know these islands far better than do mainland or international agents whose familiarity comes from “fam” trips sponsored by packagers, properties and attractions who seek to lure your business.  Most of our agents were born and raised here or have lived here for years, and were trained here. Select one from our home page or call, toll-free, 1-800-843-8771.

Most agents can find you discounts on airline tickets, but Hawaii-Aloha agents are willing to go to extremes on your behalf. They have arrangements with companies that offer reduced fares, but not to the public, and those savings are passed on to you.

The Internet today provides you with the opportunity to a lot of your own booking, but using a Hawaii Aloha agent lets you avoid the possibility of aggravation. Hawaii hotel owners know that we’re in a position to recommend or not recommend a specific hotel to travelers, and that makes us a powerful ally.

What do you do when your flight from home has been canceled and you’re stranded? Calling the airline won’t get you far. Your Hawaii Aloha agent can have you rebooked and on the next available flight, often within the hour. He or she usually will go the extra mile for you; to make medical referrals, for instance, if you get sick, or even wiring cash should you get robbed.

If you’re considering a cruise to or including Hawaii, having a Hawaii Aloha agent can be a godsend. You’ll not only get a decent price, but you can also get the right stateroom on the right ship.

Since we focus only on Hawaii, we have the resources to quickly compare prices, and we check all our prices against those offered by other travel companies to ensure you get the best value without comprising when it comes to attentive, and courteous service to you. By the way, if you have a price already, let us know up front.  We’ll quickly see if we can get you a better one.
