American Airlines and Continental Airlines have both announced major changes involving Heathrow. Keep reading to see how they might affect you…

Not long ago, I set out a trip to try to reach all 48 states in the Continental U.S. over the course of 11 days. In the end, I made it to 43 states (and D.C.). It involved taking 5 to 7 flights on many days, fighting blizzards, falling deathly ill in the great state of Montana, and basically dealing with a lot of misery.

Aloha Airlines has garnered a reputation for comfort and good service, and it will be interesting to see if they can give ATA a run for its money.

Starting April 14, Hawaiian Airlines will be offering non-stop service to Manila. To begin, there will be four weekly flights out of Honolulu to Manila (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Sat,) and four weekly flights from Manila to Honolulu (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri).

Tickets are available now for appx. $569 each way (including fees and surcharges). This should prove to be a popular route, so be sure to check out available dates before making any plans.
