Some new fares just released from Hawaiian Air offer good deals from many of their West Coast locations to Oahu and Maui.  Rates are somewhat higher, though still quite reasonable, for Spring Break (3/14-4/19). If your destination is beyond Honolulu or Kahului, I still expect to see new lower inter-island airfares revealed at any time. [...]

This is a very good deal, though perhaps not earth shattering. Travel dates vary by carrier, but validity at this point is through early March.   If  Spring break doesn’t improve for the airlines in the next couple of weeks, I expect to see this deal be extended or reappear with validity through April or [...]

Updated 1/2/09 (7:20 AM HAT):  The fare is already gone.  If the airlines keep doing this, we may have to call 2009 the year of the disappearing airfares.  It was wide-open and bookable for at most 12 hours. Just in time for the New Year, and according to prediction, United Airlines has this excellent offer.  [...]

First, Mele Kalikimaka, Hau’oli Hanukaha, and Hau’oli Makahiki Hou to all our friends and readers! Now the answer to the question: The airlines have to a large degree been holding off publishing new airfares.  Most of the current great deals from the mainland to Hawaii are expiring early in February.  I expect to see new [...]

Updated 1/7/09:  The best available price is currently $48.  Inasmuch as Mokulele will start competing to Kahului Maui starting February 1, I expect to see a resumption in the airfare war at any time.  So if the current deals don’t fit into your plans, keep checking back for more inter-island deals. As promised, the inter-island [...]

Updated 12/15/08:  Delta/Northwest has joined this deal, but so far the other airlines have not. For you economic contrarians, the great deals to Hawaii will continue to [...]

Finally a good deal for Beat of Hawaii’s United Kingdom readers: This offer includes most of next year, and even goes until March 2010.  The taxes will unfortunately double the fare.  Even so, with the airlines getting less than $400 for a round-trip of 15,000 miles, this is a great opportunity for British visitors to [...]
