Hawaii Vacation Packages Now Available with North American Airlines

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Traveling to Hawaii just got easier. North American Airlines (NAA) announced today that they are offering vacation packages on their Web site (www.northamericanair.com) to the four Hawaiian Islands they service - Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island (Hawaii). Packages include air transportation, hotel, car, cruises and even activities.

In their quest to be the airline with "High Standards and Low Fares," NAA is consistently expanding services to meet their travelers' needs. "We know travelers prefer one-stop shopping and we know they want planning to be easy," said Steve Harfst, Chief Operating Officer for NAA. "Using the vacation planner on our Web site doesn't get any easier. A traveler can pick and choose the package - whether they want to combine air and hotel; hotel and car; or, air, hotel and car. We are the resource for great deals."

In addition to making plans to get there, North American Airlines is the only airline that allows travelers to make plans online for special activities. From traditional luaus to Pearl Harbor tours, snorkeling adventures, surfing lessons, reservations at popular restaurants and even special discounts for championship golf courses, NAA makes it possible for travelers to hit the ground running. There is no more wasting time planning activities after arrival. The fun can be scheduled ahead, leaving more vacation time to enjoy.

This kind of offering is also perfect for spur-of-the-moment travelers. For those who decide Friday evening that they need to get away Saturday morning, they need not fear the exorbitant fares of making last minute reservations. Neither do they need to spend a lot of time trying to find the best rates for hotel and car. In fact, a recent check on a Friday night for a package that started the next morning (Saturday) going from Oakland to Honolulu produced several options. A trip that included roundtrip air and hotel for seven nights at 3-star hotels can easily be found for under $1,000.

With lots of amenities not offered by other commercial airlines - leather seats, hot meals, personal video players, generous leg room - NAA distinguishes itself as one of the few carriers to still give all passengers full service. Nine flights are scheduled weekly to Hawaii from Oakland. With this new service of online vacation packages, NAA goes well beyond its competitors in helping travelers make the best use of their leisure time and dollars.

Founded in 1989, NAA is a fully certificated U.S. Flag airline with worldwide scheduled service authority. In addition to scheduled service to Hawaii, NAA continues to operate scheduled flights from its corporate headquarters at JFK International Airport in New York to the Caribbean. Over the years, NAA has lived up to its slogan of "America's Greatest Little Airline." NAA was acquired by World Air Holdings in April 2005 and continues to operate independently as a wholly-owned subsidiary from its New York headquarters.
