The Super Ferry and the Airlines

The cost of everything is going up and down. With the rivals of airlines going after one another, whom else can we turn to? Some say that the ferry is the best bet to getting to O’ahu, but it’s still a problem in costs. We can only travel roundtrip from Maui to Oahu. The cost of it all is $49 for each adult, and $39 for children and seniors. And the cost for each vehicle starts at $69. The advantage for the ferry is that people can drive their vehicle on the boat on their own; they can relax at their own expense, enjoy a ride for three hours, and enjoy the scenery on the ocean.

And when we come to the airlines, the prices are so high now days due to gas prices. The prices are $69 one way for both adults and child. The advantage for the airlines is that we can fly and get to Oahu within 30 minutes, enjoy the scenery of the islands at sky level, and we can travel to more than one island.

I believe that the two has their goods and their bad. The prices on the airlines are going up, with the gas, payment for your own luggage, and next thing you know they might even start charging for infants. All these rules began when the economy became so high, and all our airline companies started going in bankruptcy. And the happiness goes into the people at the Super Ferry. However, this brings more traffic onto the islands both the island of Maui and the island of O‘ahu.

I personally don’t agree with the Super ferry, because of the economy being so busy and the prices for everything might continue to just get higher. If they continue to lower their prices, the airlines might continue to have their prices of airfare and what not go higher. The airlines itself is expensive. I feel like I’m paying for two round trip tickets now, but in reality I am now paying for one roundtrip airfare. I remember how good it was before, I could pay for a roundtrip ticket for a little over $100, and now it’s like almost $300. I also don’t agree with the airlines either, because we can only rely on Hawaiian Airlines to get us there to the destination. With Go Airlines and Island Air being so minimal in passengers, we can really only rely on one Airline to fly. In the long run, I’ll have to choose between the two either the ferry or the airlines.
