Marriott Resorts Hawaii Extends Special Rates to Stranded ATA Airlines Passengers

 

HONOLULU, Hawaii – April 3, 2008 – In light of yesterday’s announced shut down of ATA Airlines, Marriott Resorts Hawaii is extending a helping hand to ATA ticket holders in Hawaii who may have to stay beyond their check out date; and to in-bound customers who may have to postpone their stay due to their inability to find a flight.

“We are stepping up to help ATA ticket holders as we have done in recent days for stranded Aloha Airlines passengers,” said Ed Hubennette, vice president of North Asia, Hawaii & South Pacific – Marriott International. “Taking care of our guests is our top priority and we will do what we can to ease the difficulty of their circumstances.”

Effective today Marriott Resorts Hawaii will offer the following:

  • Any guest currently staying at any Marriott Resorts Hawaii property will be offered 50% off the rate they are paying for up to 3 additional nights beyond their original check out date.
  • ATA ticket holders who are already in the Hawaiian Islands and in need of emergency accommodations will be offered the “kamaaina” (Hawaii resident) rate.
  • Customers with a hotel reservation that are unable to fulfill their Marriott reservation due to unavailability of flights, will not be charged a penalty as long as they rebook within one year.
  • For all of the above, Marriott will need to see proof of ATA ticketing.

Marriott Resorts Hawaii comprises nine lodging properties. They are JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club, Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, and four Marriott Vacation Clubs: Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club, Marriott’s Kauai Beach Club, Marriott’s Waiohai Beach Club, and Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club.
