Hawaii maintains its mandatory 10-day quarantine to travel the islands. Still, partnerships like one with United Airlines allow travelers to bypass the procedure by receiving a negative COVID test within 72 hours of travel. United Airlines became a Trusted Travel and Testing Partner by the state in October of 2020 after announcing plans to offer COVID-19 testing options earlier.&nbsp;United Airline's widespread approach offers many opportunities to save time, skip&nbsp;quarantine and travel safer.
United Airlines introduced their touchless solution called “<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3045623-1&h=791241266&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.united.com%2Ftravelreadycenter&a=website">The Travel-Ready Center</a>,” where flyers can review COVID-19 entry requirements, find local testing options and upload any required testing and vaccination records for travel, all in one place. United has long partnered with the state and committed to safely returning travel to the islands.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Please note that some Hawaiian islands have additional requirements that may be subject to change. For updated information, be sure to read up on policies <a href="https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel/getting-to-hawaii/">here</a>.

&nbsp;Since their first flight service between the mainland and Kona in 1983, United Airlines remains a pioneer to the Hawaiian Islands nearly 70 years later. Despite the shutdowns and halt on travel, United Airlines used the time to prepare for a Hawaiian travel surge when restrictions lift. This summer, they plan to launch their first-ever routes servicing Chicago to Kona and New York/Newark to Maui, totaling 21 routes to the islands.&nbsp;
“We know customers are dreaming of summer getaways, and we want United to be their top choice for travel to Hawaii,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s vice president of International Network and Alliances. “Our new Hawaii routes from Chicago, Newark, and Orange County, in addition to the dozens of flights United already operates from the mainland to Hawaii, offer travelers even more options, greater convenience, and shorter travel times to the fantastic outdoor offerings Hawaii has to offer.”

As the needs of Hawaii’s tourism sector change, United hopes to continue its support. The recently announced <a href="https://www.moversandshakas.org/">Movers and Shakas</a> program, an initiative in Hawaii to recruit talent to live and work remotely on the islands, give insight into such travel trends. As a platinum partner in the program, United will provide flights. The program hopes to introduce a new income stream for the islands that allow for a unique travel experience.

Travel Tips

Orange County California officials have announced that Disneyland Resort in Anaheim will be converted into a Point-of-Dispersing site for COVID-19 vaccines.&nbsp;“The Disneyland Resort, the largest employer in the heart of Orange County, has stepped up to host the county’s first Super POD site – undertaking a monumental task in our vaccination distribution process,” said acting Chairman Andrew Do, First District. “We truly appreciate the support of the Orange County Fire Authority, our cities, and our residents as we continue to rollout COVID-19 vaccinations throughout the county.”Known as “Super POD” sites, the five regional Super PODs will have the capacity to vaccinate thousands of residents each day. The Super PODs will increase efficiency and provide multiple vaccine distribution points throughout Orange County. The County will announce additional Super POD sites as agreements are finalized.&nbsp;“I’m proud to have Disneyland Resorts and the City of Anaheim, both in my Fourth District, be the first of the Super POD sites in Orange County,” said Supervisor Doug Chaffee. “Residents in my district have been highly impacted by COVID-19. These Super PODs are absolutely critical in stopping this deadly virus.”&nbsp;Vaccine distribution is managed through a phased, tiered approach established by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Currently, vaccinations are available to Orange County residents and those who work in Orange County who meet the criteria for what is referred to as “Phase 1a, all tiers.” This group includes law enforcement first responders in high-risk communities and was recently expanded to include those age 75 and older. We are excited to serve this group as a priority population. The County is working in collaboration with community partners to create a process that reaches seniors close to home and best serves these individuals.&nbsp; “It's important to vaccinate as many willing people as possible for COVID-19, and we need the space to do it,” said Supervisor Donald P. Wagner, Third District. “I thank Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim for stepping up in the shared effort to give OC residents protection against the virus.” The first Super POD at the Disneyland Resort will be operational later this week. Most of those eligible to be vaccinated in Phase 1a will be contacted through their employer to schedule an appointment via a third-party app developed in cooperation with the County of Orange. “In order to ensure a smooth and effective distribution of the vaccine as quickly as possible, it is so important that Orange County residents have the information they need on who, and when, they are eligible to receive the vaccine, and where they can go to receive it,” said Supervisor Lisa Bartlett, Fifth District. “We will have several sites across the county, including South County, and information on these locations will be available shortly. Please stay tuned to <a href="https://occovid19.ochealthinfo.com/covid-19-vaccination-distribution">https://occovid19.ochealthinfo.com/covid-19-vaccination-distribution</a> for the latest information on vaccine distribution sites. In the meantime, please remain vigilant and protect you and your loved ones by practicing social distancing, good hygiene and wearing your masks.”

News

After taking over AirTran, <a href="http://www.southwest.com/" target="_blank">Southwest Airlines</a> is adding more flights with the budget carrier to the Caribbean and Mexico as well as adding new routes. 
Your trip to the beach just got easier Southwest Airlines has announced that they are increasing flights to the Caribbean and the Mexican coast on AirTran (the airlines merged last year). As of May 24, there are now four nonstop flights a week from San Antonio to Cancun, four weekly flights from Austin to Cancun, plus two daily nonstop flights daily from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan, Puerto Rico. On June 3, the airline will launch a daily nonstop from California's Orange County to Cabo San Lucas plus a daily nonstop from Chicago to Cancun. 
This is all part of a step by Southwest to break into the international market. All of AirTrans flights (both domestic and international) will eventually transition to be under the Southwest banner. The airline also announced that a new international booking system is being developed, and there are plans to build a new five-gate international terminal at Hobby Airport in Houston by 2015.
And don't worry that all these new routes and a new terminal will raise fares. A Southwest executive told <a href="http://travel.usatoday.com/flights/story/2012-05-23/Domestic-giant-Southwest-sticks-nose-into-international-air/55174412/1" target="_blank">USA Today</a><a> that the prices are going to get even lower. </a>

65 New Ways to Get Away This Season

Budget Travel Lists

A new site bills itself as the lone, truly-unbiased airfare aggregator:
<a href="http://www.trax.com/" target="_blank">Trax</a>. It left its beta stage this week and is now officially competing with the big boys like <a href="http://www.kayak.com/" target="_blank">Kayak</a> and <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/flights" target="_blank">TripAdvisor's flight search</a>.
<a href="http://www.trax.com/" target="_blank">Trax</a> retrieves fares from more than 200 travel suppliers and promises to be "totally unbiased." (For a summary of how other sites can sometimes be biased, see Mark Ashley's survey "<a href="http://www.upgradetravelbetter.com/2009/04/07/disaggregating-fare-aggregators-2009-which-airfare-comparison-sites-are-the-best/" target="_blank">Disaggregating fare aggregators 2009</a>").
But how does Trax match up to the competition in finding the lowest fares in an quick, intuitive way? 
Not so well.
We did a handful of sample airfare searches, and while the prices found at Trax were as good as anywhere, the site doesn't have several features we love at other metasearches. For example, if you click on "search nearby airports" at Kayak, the site does just that: It retrieves fares at other airports in the vicinity of the main gateway you selected. Trax has no such feature. If you type in "Los Angeles" at Trax, for example, the site will search only the main airport, LAX. Kayak gives you the option of simultaneously searching five other area airports, including Long Beach, Burbank, and Orange County&mdash;and it's often the case that the best deals are found at such alternative gateways.
On a couple of sample searches using Trax, the top (i.e., cheapest) fare listed was from <a href="http://www.1800airdeal.com/" target="_blank">1800AirDeal.com</a>, which would not reveal the name of the airline until after a customer paid for the ticket. This sort of "opaque" booking understandably makes a lot of travelers nervous, but it's a tradeoff some folks can live with providing they're getting a cheaper price than published fares. The problem is, in our results, the published fares were just as cheap. So we can't see any reason to book with 1800AirDeal. We also can't see a reason why 1800AirDeal was the first result at Trax, which listed that site above options for the same exact price booked directly with the airline.
What's more, there were some issues when we clicked on Trax to try to book. When you select a flight at Kayak, the site sends you to an airline's website or a booking engine like Orbitz to actually pay for your trip. A new window opens on your computer, and the same flight you selected at Kayak&mdash;and that flight alone&mdash;appears. Using Trax, however, when the new window opened, we were confronted with multiple options to choose from, meaning the traveler has to find the departure times and connections all over again, which is an annoying waste of time.
That's not the only glitch. In one of our searches, Trax listed a nonstop flight from Denver to New York City's LaGuardia airport on American Airlines. Such a flight does not exist. As the American website revealed, the airline only flies between LaGuardia and Denver with a stopover, typically in Chicago or Dallas.
Finally, Trax doesn't have innovations like TripAdvisor's fees estimator (<a href="http://blog.budgettravel.com/budgettravel/2009/03/kudos_to_trip_advisor_for_incl.html">which we've blogged about</a>) and Kayak's baggage fees calculator (<a href="http://blog.budgettravel.com/budgettravel/2009/05/baggage_fees_still_annoying_bu.html">which we've blogged about</a>), which help a traveler figure out the grand total for a flight, checked bag charges and all. So all things considered, we can't see a reason to use Trax over other metasearches. Our take is that it doesn't seem like Trax was ready to come out of its beta testing stage.

Sometimes when you're flying at 36,000 feet, you want nothing more than to update your Twitter status, see what hasn't been seen on YouTube, or watch your stock portfolio slowly plummet in real-time.
<a href="http://www.virginamerica.com/va/home.do" target="_blank">Virgin America</a> has made that dream a reality by offering the first ever fleet-wide Wi-Fi on any of its 100 daily flights across the U.S. 
Although <a href="http://www.delta.com/" target="_blank">Delta Air Lines</a> has Wi-Fi on about 130 of its aircraft, reports <a href="http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/djf500/200905200936DOWJONESDJONLINE000643_FORTUNE5.htm" target="_blank">CNNMoney.com</a>, Virgin America's Gogo in-flight Internet is available on its full fleet of 28 planes. Other airlines, such as <a href="http://www.airtran.com/" target="_blank">AirTran</a>, are bucking up to provide Web access to their patrons as well.
Virgin America will cut the red ribbon for this landmark with an air-to-ground Skype video chat with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday, May 21 on her show. But you won't see Oprah handing out this Wi-Fi service to guests in her audience. The Gogo service costs $13 during daytime flights over three hours, $10 with daytime flights under three hours, $8 for hand-held devices, and $6 for red-eye flights.
Virgin America makes domestic stops in San Francisco, New York, L.A., Washington D.C., San Diego, Las Vegas, Seattle, Orange County and Boston. The service is available on all its plane types, flights times and routes (877/359-8474, <a href="http://www.virginamerica.com/" target="_blank">virginamerica.com</a>).

Virgin America adds Wi-Fi fleetwide--for a cost

Cell phones are gradually replacing boarding passes, with increasing numbers of U.S. airports encouraging passengers to hold up the screen of their cell phone (or Blackberry, iPhone, or similar device) under the airport security scanner, rather than show a paper boarding pass.
When we recently <a href="http://blog.budgettravel.com/budgettravel/2008/11/cell_phones_replacing_boarding.html">blogged about this trend</a>, one of our readers, Mike, wisely pointed out that before you walk through the scanner, airports usually require that you put your cell phone in the bin. <blockquote>"So how do you show your boarding pass to the TSA agent when it is on the x-ray machine belt?" Mike asked.</blockquote>
Great question! 
We asked a TSA spokesperson, and here's the answer: <blockquote>"Currently, airports that accept paperless boarding passes will ask passengers to show their boarding pass in front of the checkpoint where all boarding passes and IDs are checked. In some airports, as passengers approach the metal detector, they may be instructed to divest everything for X-ray but their cell phone. Then passengers will approach the metal detector, show their boarding pass on their cell phone to the security officer, and then backtrack to put the phone in a bin for X-ray screening."</blockquote>
Another mystery solved.
Airports that are testing this technology include Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, D.C. (Reagan), Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Memphis, Minneapolis, Orange County, Calif., San Antonio, New York (LaGuardia and Newark), and Seattle.
To recap, here's an example of how the procedure works with one airline, Delta: You register your cell phone number with <a href="http://www.delta.com/" target="_blank">delta.com</a> to receive a text message with a boarding pass bar code. Then hold up the screen of your cell phone under the airport security scanner, rather than show a paper boarding pass. (As always, you have to present a government-issued photo I.D. too.) Delta is testing the service at LaGuardia Airport.

How do you use a cell phone boarding pass at the metal detector?

Everglades National Park protects an unparalleled landscape that provides important habitat for numerous rare and endangered species like the manatee, American crocodile, and the elusive Florida panther. An international treasure as well - a World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve, a Wetland of International Importance, and a specially protected area under the Cartagena Treaty.
The Everglades is an expansive area of land in south Florida, which consists of 1.5 million acres of wetland. Since the park covers such a large area of south Florida, planning is a must. There are three entrances to Everglades National Park and they are not connected, they are accessed through different areas of south Florida.<h2>What Can I Do?</h2>
All these areas offer a wide range of activities! You can take a short walk on the Anhinga Trail to spot abundant wildlife--turtles, herons and alligators! Climb atop Shark Valley's 65-foot observation tower for a bird's eye view of the glades. 
Glide over Florida Bay by tour boat or kayak for a chance to glimpse a crocodile, manatee, or dolphin. Watch as the sun sets over Flamingo, the southernmost point in mainland Florida. Explore the pinelands by bike, paddle amongst the mangroves on Nine-Mile Pond, or tour the historic Nike Hercules missile base. 
Join a ranger on a slough slog deep into the heart of a cypress dome. Find solitude on your own on a week-long canoe trip, camping along the 99-mile Wilderness Waterway.
