Hawaiian Airlines' new ‘no show' policy may make travel more expensive
The airline put the policy in place last Thursday for people who have a confirmed reservation but do not board their ticketed flight. 'We'll cancel your flight reservation and all continuing and return flights,' Hawaiian Airlines said in an announcement published on their website.

Additionally, no-show guests will not be able to use the money or miles spent on non-refundable fares as credit towards a future flight.
To prevent people from forfeiting all fares associated with nonrefundable tickets, the airline reminds people that they can adjust their reservations online or by contacting its reservations department by calling 1-800-367-5320.
The airline says on their website that they understand that 'life happens,' and those who are already at the airport but miss their flight may have options and are told to contact an airport customer service agent at the kiosks or check-in counter for help.
Hawaiian Airlines is days into implementing a new 'no-show' policy that could potentially cause travelers to lose out on money.

The new policy applies to all non-refundable tickets purchased in the U.S., with no exemptions for HawaiianMiles or Mileage Plan Elite members.
'Changes and cancellations on refundable tickets are based on the fare agreement for those tickets at the time of ticketing. Please review your fare rules,' Hawaiian Airlines said.
Hawaiian Airlines was acquired by Alaska Airlines in September 2024. The two airlines have now adopted a single policy addressing no-show passengers, a spokesperson told FOX Business via email.
'By aligning to a single, industry-standard policy, we can offer our guests a more consistent travel experience to guests booked on flights across our combined global network,' a statement said.

Virginia GOP candidate, CNN host tangle on air over Trump questions
Virginia gubernatorial nominee and Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) clashed with CNN reporter Manu Raju over her past criticisms of President Trump on Friday. Raju pressed Earle-Sears over the Trump administration's cuts to the federal workforce this year, which have had a significant impact on Virginia given its large population of federal workers. 'Do you support the president's purge of the federal workforce, yes or no?' Raju asked the lieutenant governor. 'Oh, okay. If this is the way you want to go, then go ahead. I'm just not going to participate because I want to talk about real issues,' Earle Sears responded, adding that Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and his administration have tried to bring more jobs to Virginia. Earle-Sears accused Democrats of blocking the jobs. 'If they want to work together with me, we can get it done,' she said. Raju also pressed Earle-Sears about her previous criticism of Trump, specifically pointing to a 2022 interview with Fox Business, in which she referred to Trump as 'a liability.' 'Do you stand by those comments?' Raju asked. 'I voted for the president the first time around. I voted for him the second time around and I voted for him the third time around,' Earle-Sears responded. 'I am going to vote for somebody who understands how everything works.' 'I'm talking about who has brought us economic prosperity in the past,' she continued. 'I'm talking about somebody who understands how business works, who understands that the rogue nations of the world have to be told that we're not going to let them fool around with America, that we will protect America, and that's what President Trump has done.' The GOP hopeful added, 'Now because of your politics I suppose, you wanted to keep talking about the past when I've already told you the president and I have been in the Oval Office, we have had discussion, and I'm going to talk about things that should be held private.' Trump has yet to formally endorse the lieutenant governor to succeed Youngkin, who is term limited. Virginia Republicans have raised red flags about their chances in the state's gubernatorial race, pointing to Earle-Sears significantly trailing her Democratic opponent Abigail Spanberger in fundraising and polls.

Excuses for the report ranged from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's refusal to cut rates to Trump's tariffs and trade war 'victories' not being fully accounted for.
A Fox Business panel was left 'stunned' Friday after a 'disappointing' U.S. jobs report for July also revised down the previous two months' employment growth figures. The seven analysts were mostly mum as they took in the lower-than-expected figure of 73,000 jobs added in July, with Charles Payne breaking the relative silence by remarking in shock, 'and that's total.' Others appeared to grimace at the news. Minutes before the report's release, host Maria Bartiromo said it was expected that 110,000 jobs would be added to the U.S. economy in July.
