I am looking for another inexpensive way to fly to Maui in May. Had a connection on ATA from Southwest, but with the failure of another airline I got left hangin. Anyone know of other airlines that might have some good deals?
Lost my May flight thanks to ATA

Sorry, but I think that you are kind of on your own. You're looking for an inter-island flight from Honolulu to Maui, right? The only carriers left right now are Hawaiian and Go.
And there are still folks stranded here trying to get home. See article:

You might be able to find something, but I doubt it will be cheap as demand is heavily exceeding supply right now. It is unlikely that the situation will change much for the better by the time you need to travel.
Perhaps you might consider taking the Super Ferry to Maui.
Good Luck!

Southwest???? No way!?! I've already had several cancellations for pre booked tours thanks to ATA and Aloha Airlines going belly up on us. The trickle down effect is in effect.
To the OP: can you provide more details to what your needs are? Like it was said, demand is heavier so the situation will require that you look harder than normal for the 'deals'.

Next in line for what? Southwest is the only airline making money right now. After ATA folded I understand they will try to purchase the gates owned by ATA and pick up those flights. That would be great.

Southwest had code-sharing agreements with both Aloha and ATA, so I am sure that the demise of both will cut into their profitability.
Where you on a mainland flight with ATA into Maui? If so what is your connector city? If you are looking at inter-island, then sorry. Just watching the prices go up, and up, and up. Just returned from Hawaii on Sunday. Glad my wife booked Hawaiian instead of Aloha like I suggested. Glad she does not listen to me.

I would LOVE it if southwest picked up the ATA gates - while being "southwest cattle cars" they do it and get the job done, and can keep the prices low.
(I am in Phx AZ - and southwest is a common carrier for me to use for vegas, so cal, etc)
