Well, after a two year delay, Allegiant Air will soon be joining the ranks of airlines that fly to Hawaii.  Allegiant will be offering direct flights to Hawaii from Fresno, California as well as from Las Vegas, Nevada.  I feel that Hawaiian owns the market for direct flights between Hawaii and the Sin City of Las Vegas.  But will Allegiant have the ability to effectively compete against Hawaiian?  I wonder?  Allegiant is flying the same narrow body Boeing 757 that the charter carrier, Omni, used to fly between Las Vegas and Honolulu.  Many of my friends really didn’t like the cramped conditions of the flight; so it’s no wonder that Omni recently replaced it with a wide body Boeing 767.  Plus, Allegiant is decreasing the leg room between their seats so that they can squeeze in more people, and profits, from their flights.
