US Airways expands Hawaii service

US Airways has started two new services between Phoenix and two Hawaiian islands.
The new daily service to Lihue on the island of Kauai began on Wednesday, March 1, while the daily Phoenix to Kona (on the island of Hawaii) route was inaugurated a day later.
The service from Phoenix to Lihue is the first direct flight from the mainland to Kauai that does not leave from California.
Flight 946 will take off daily from US Airways' Phoenix hub at 11.40am and arrive in Lihue at 3.45pm. Passengers on return flight 947 will leave Lihue at 11.55pm and touch down in Phoenix at 8.58am.
Kona flights will take off from Phoenix at 11.40am for a 3.27pm arrival, and the return journey will leave Kona at 11.59pm, landing in Phoenix at 8.48am.
"Hawaii is a very popular destination for our customers, and we are very pleased to offer more service to the places they love to travel," explained Scott Kirby, US Airways’ executive vice president, sales and marketing, in a company press release.
As well as the Phoenix routes, US also began flying from Las Vegas to Kahului on March 1.
