We are planning a trip to Hawaii February 2018. When is best time to buy tickets?
HNL to Mexico City, and HNL to Cancun would be awesome direct routes!
We will be flying out of LAX to Maui during mid week next year at the end of June. Do you still recommend buying early since it’s peak summer season or should I wait? Our preference is to fly HA. Mahalo
HI Elsie.
If you’re a gambling person, we’d suggest waiting as next year will not be normal. Having said that, no one can be sure what will happen, and that is the height of summer season. Availability can be an issue then too. That’s about all we know right now.

We are looking to fly non stop from San Diego to Maui, November 2nd to November 7th. Current pricing shows Alaska cheapest at 562. Do you think the price will drop or should we buy now. Please let us know.
Thanks In advance!
Hi Shardul.
$483 on nonstop as of today. Good price – suggest buying now.
ALoha.
We are planning a July 2018 trip to kona. We should we expect to see these lower airfares. Looking for flights from Philly which have been running between $1150-1300.
Going to Kauai late March – early April 2018 when should I buy? Dates are flexible
Hi! We are looking for Seattle to Kahului at the end of January, beginning of February. Hawaiian is around $570 per person now; would you guess that will get any lower for that timeframe?
Any suggestions appreciated! Thank you!
Hi Jess.
A bit too early for the new planes. However there are already $460 nonstop fares on Hawaiian in that time frame. Might or might not improve, but that’s a good enough price to buy and forget.
Aloha.
Mahalo! 👍🏽
I checked several times for the Hawaiian Airlines deals that you posted recently, but each time when I went to the HA site, the fares are much higher than what he deals were meant to be. Looking for travel from LA area (SNA is closest but LAX and other local airports are fine too) to HNL 10/14-10/22 of this year (dates are not flexible unfortunately). The fares are in the high $500’s roundtrip across all airlines according to Google flight search right now. Do you see them going down or am I better off booking now at those prices? Your recommendation would be appreciated please. 🙂
I read all the articles/updates on the site. Really appreciate all the insights and deal alerts!
Mahalo!

Hi Nancy,
We showed LA as $268 and today it is even lower at $261 (fares are each way including all taxes/fees). Not available for your weekend dates, which is as expected. $570 to $625 for your dates. It could improve as we’re in a temperamental market right now that is anticipating a shakeup. Therefore, suggest you consider waiting until much closer to buy and see what happens. Lack of flexibility for mid-week travel might hurt your chances however.
Aloha.
Hi Nancy, October is a busy month for triathletes as the world championships are in Kona on the Big Island. After the race many people stay on other islands. That could be a reason why airfare hasn’t come down.
Long time fan of Beat of Hawaii, we are planning a trip mid October do you think some of these fares may be available then?
Hi Lorraine.
No, likely they will not.
Aloha.
With the new narrow body planes, are their any carriers who still have the bigger planes? As an anxious flyer I feel like the bigger planes don’t experience the turbulence that the smaller ones do. We live near Sacramento. What would you suggest if we are going to Kaui or Honolulu? Thank you!
Hi Katie.
If you’d prefer getting yourself to San Francisco or Los Angeles, wide-body flights will remain available.
Aloha.
What about Oakland or San Jose? Any airline I should focus on? When you say wider body plane do you mean 2-4-2 or 3-3 seats across? And thanks so much for your articles. I’ve been a fan for five + years.
Hi Katie.
Oakland and San Jose will remain narrow body 3+3 seating. Sales should be across multiple airlines as new routes are announced.
Aloha.
