Hula said, "The addition of these nonstop flights from the Mainland to Hawaii gives travelers access to one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations. Las Vegas is also the number one vacation destination for those who live in Hawaii, and ATA is making their getaway to Las Vegas a lot easier."
Danny Ching, ATA’s marketing partner and owner of Nonstop Hawaii and Budget Holidays based in Honolulu, said, "The increased flights by ATA Airlines have long been desired. The service has not even started yet, and we’ve had a tremendous response. Hawaiians love ATA because it offers the best value for those who live in Hawaii to get to the Mainland."
"Residents of Hawaii are known to be expert air travelers due to their need to island hop as the mainstay of getting around our state. The nonstop, six-hour-long flight from Honolulu to Vegas gives us a chance to have fun in Vegas as a quick getaway without a connection. That is really what makes this an attractive option," added Ching.
Now in its 32nd year of operation, ATA operates significant scheduled service at Chicago- Midway Airport and between the U.S. Mainland and Hawaii. For more information, visit www.ata.com.
