Hi,
Do you have any kind of advice on flying to Maui from Boston?
Thank you!
Hi Annie,
Virgin America and Alaska tend to run about $100-$200 less than say American, but they have a longer connection.
Aloha.
Hi!
When is the best time to purchase some cheap tickets from mid thru end of December? What’s the best price?
Many thanks,
K
Hi Kelly.
You listed no city pairs so we can’t advise on pricing. Best time is as per the information contained here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/.
Aloha.
Hi, thank you for adding these deals. We’re planning to travel to Maui from the Bay Area, 9/21-9/26. Do you think fares will drop more or should we go ahead and book? Thanks again for your help 🙂

Hi Christina.
In that most competitive market and with your mid-week travel dates there could well be even better prices ahead. If you do wait, keep a close watch for fast-acting sales.
Aloha.
We’ve got our trip to Big Island booked for mid-August. We are thinking about doing an inter-island flight for one day from Kona to see Pearl Harbor/Waikiki. I did a search on inter-island flights but it doesn’t look like there have been sales lately due to competition. I wondered if you had any thoughts on when to purchase those along with other activities on our itinerary. Many places have on-line booking and seem to recommend booking ahead. Is this too soon or am I doing the right thing for an August vacation? Thanks again! Jill W.
Hi Jill.
Inter-island can be tricky. You are going to need specific times of day to make this work. Probably early and late. Usually – not always, those work well for better pricing. Prices start at $179 RT which won’t get much better even if you wait and there is an unlikely sale. Suggest getting that booked sooner than later.
Aloha.
