Travelers who want shade, privacy or their own poolside party can rent a cabana at hotels and resorts around the world. But it’ll cost you.

Southwest’s $49 fares always sell out quickly during the carrier’s mega fare sales and have disappeared even more quickly on the Hawaii flights.

Yes, bags will fly free (though surfboards don’t). No, you won’t be served mahi mahi or free mai tais.

The airline’s first flights to Hawaii begin in March from Oakland to Honolulu. One-way fares started at $49.

The airline says it will announce details on ticket sales and inaugural flights in the “coming days”

The airline will start selling tickets after it receives formal certification for Hawaii flights from the FAA. No dates were announced.

Southwest temporarily grounded flights early Friday due to a computer glitch. The airline has been plagued by flight cancellations this week.

The airline continues to have a higher-than-usual number of aircraft out of service due to maintenance and is dealing with snow in Las Vegas.

Southwest Chief Operating Officer Mike Van de Ven apologized to travelers and said the union that represents its mechanics has a “history of work disruptions.”
