Island Air is debuting a test program that will allow students enrolled at University of Hawaii campuses on Oahu and Maui to fly standby for $35 each way.

The College Student Standby Program is available to all students currently enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, University of Hawaii West Oahu and six community institutions (Honolulu Community College, Kapiolani Community College, Leeward Community College, Maui College, Lanai Education Center, and Windward Community College) who are traveling between the islands of Oahu, Maui and Lanai. Those are the only islands that Island Air serves.

To qualify for the College Student Standby rate, students must present a valid University of Hawaii student ID and their state or federal ID card or passport to a customer service agent at the Island Air ticket counter. There is no maximum number of times a student may participate in the offer.

“We support our student communities and know how important it is to have a reliable, affordable connection to family and friends, especially for holidays,” Island Air CEO Dave Pflieger said Monday. “We are testing this program with the University of Hawaii schools on Oahu and Maui for a limited time. The fare is an additional way that Island Air demonstrates its commitment to providing an economical, quality travel experience.”

The $35 standby rate is subject to seat availability and can be changed without notice. The fare includes one federal transportation segment tax and one security fee. Other taxes, fees and restrictions may apply.
