Tips for Planning a Hawaiian Vacation (This Post Sponsored by Hawaiian Airlines)
Hawaiian Airlines has a new web site that provides some nifty vacation planning tools. We've long known Hawaiian Airlines as a reliable inter-island carrier (they consistently rate above other U.S. airlines for punctuality and minimal lost luggage) that also offers routes to California and other Pacific destinations. But with their new site redesign, they've gone beyond just offering flight information. Their destination guides provide a nice overview of the locations to which they fly; their trip planner allows you to organize an itinerary of activities, which you can build by browsing through a full list, choosing a trip theme (such as "family" or "romance"), or even looking at popular itineraries developed by other users. And there's more. They've got maps that show the hotels, restaurants, and sights by location. They even have a special listing of free activities for those who are especially budget conscious.
So what are the downsides to the site? Well for one, we were disappointed that the destination list didn't include more Hawaiian islands. Lanai, for example, is a wonderful place to visit, but you can't learn much about it on the Hawaiian Airlines site. And while we like the idea of sharing experiences with others, their share and rate & review sections don't seem to have an interactive element that allows you to see -- and comment on -- the input of others.
Overall, though, it is a solid redesign and we invite you to check it out.
