Re: Stranded in Hawaii, no joke, help/ideas?

rules are meant to be followed. Especially if it may mean the job of who is breaking said rule.... If you must travel is smaller groups, get the parents of whose children are stuck on that island to sign a waiver. PLUS, check with who you booked with, or what credit card they used. There might be some sort of flight insurance, or this case "no flight: insurance.... good luck.....

I know, sorry! But we had to get back cause we did have school and being on another island is not an excuse. if it was another state for education reasons then maybe. and it wasnt the last flight. the last flight is today!

Re: Stranded in Hawaii, no joke, help/ideas?

Everyone was able to get a flight out today on Hawaiian so all is well. Thanks for the suggestions and offers of help, and special thanks to Teams 368 and 2090 for their gracious hospitality and for providing us crates and for hanging out with the last people to leave.

Re: Stranded in Hawaii, no joke, help/ideas?

Congratulations to the rest of the mentors of 968 who managed to catch one of the last flights on ATA back home two days ago. ATA has also gone belly up and no longer exists today!

If anyone is interested, 968 is taking AirTran to Atlanta heh heh. Fortunately, that airline seem to be pretty stable

You all put two airlines out of business in one week. How many peanuts did you eat?

ask local hotels to give free rooms until you can get home in return for putting their logo on your website, robot, etc...?

WHAT!
Well I hope Delta and Northwest dont close either until after April 22...................when we get back home.
In all seriousness, my sister worked at Aloha for 16 years, so I feel pretty bad for her right now.
