FARE WAR: $520 East Coast Hawaii Fares

The Flight Deal notices a fare war that Delta has intitiated out of two US Airways hubs.

You can fly from Charlotte or Philadelphia on Delta to Kauai roundtrip for ~ $520. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday departures are eligible.

Here are the fare rules, pulled using the KVS Tool. I note that the fare allows for Tuesday departures but I wasn’t seeing any.

The fare appears valid through end of schedule.
