View this post on XCurrently, Southwest only operates flights from the mainland to HNL (Oahu) and OGG (Maui), but there are intra-island flights connecting those Hawaiian destinations to KOA beginning on May 12. Thus far, there are not public launch dates for Southwest flights to LIH on Kauai, or to the new second destination on the Big Island, ITO.
When Southwest flights to Hawaii first launched, intra-island fares were as low as $29 and can still be found on many dates from $49 or 2,830 Rapid Reward points each way. Use the 30-day calendar view to spot the cheapest dates to island hop.

While we don't yet know when Southwest Airlines flights to Hilo (or Lihue) will launch, it is good to know they are coming.
