Here's an oddity: without the slightest publicity, Continental Airways (www.continental.com) has quietly revised the price of its round-trip airfare to Hawaii from Los Angeles, in late summer, to $380. The fare is good for flights from August 18 until pre-Christmas; it requires a seven-day advance purchase; and it is at least $160 cheaper than the next, lowest, end-of-summer airfare offered by Hawaiian Airlines. I owe this discovery to the blog known as Beat of Hawaii (www.beatofhawaii.com), whose authors apparently make random passes at the websites of the Hawaii-bound airlines, simply inserting dates at random to see what they get. This is probably a price for a limited number of seats, and will undoubtedly get withdrawn after a few days, but if you act now, you can assure yourself of an awfully cheap Hawaiian vacation.
