Advertiser Staff and News Services

Hawaiian Airlines temporarily suspended change fees for certain Mainland flights because of the Southern California wildfires.

The fee break extends to customers wanting to reschedule flights to and from Los Angeles, San Diego and Ontario, Calif.

The change runs through Nov. 14 and is subject to seat availability.

Penalties for changing flights will not be assessed for flights within seven days of the original travel date as long as the change is for the same class of travel.

Flight changes can be made on the airline Web site at www.hawaiianair.com, by calling (800) 367-5320 or through travel agents.
