Mahalo BOH for all you do to keep us up to date on the most economical fares! My family, like Tracy the reader above, are flying Phoenix to Maui 6/23/18 through 7/07/18. We too have flexibility of a couple days. However, I can’t find $800/$900 flights anywhere as Tracy from Phoenix did. Also, I’ve looked at flying from San Francisco or Los Angeles using United and their fare finder and I can’t find any of the low fare prices. Do you have any suggestions for me?
I’ve been following BOH since you began in 2008. When we’re traveling to Hawaii I follow BOH everyday in search of lower fares. Thank you so much for all you do!

Hi TJ.
Thank you. Tracy’s dates were different, leaving 7/13. You have picked a pair of some of the most expensive dates possible in the year. The airlines have it nailed so that it probably won’t matter where you fly from. You can come out of SJC for just over $800 or from SAN for about $50 more. But getting there – oh my. Doubtful that anything will improve either, and more likely that availability will be disappearing. Suggest booking something now.
Aloha.

Looking for flight from Detroit to Maui (family of 5) in June 2018. Prices seem to be holding steady @$1200-$1300. Do you foresee any drop in price in the future or would it be best to purchase now?
Heidi
I’m a huge fan of you! Thank you so much for all your helpful tips. I was hoping you could give me some advice.
I see a one way flight from Maui to Portland, ME for $323 on Thursday, May 3. I’d rather fly home on Friday and that price is $343. Is this the lowest it’ll be? These
Flights are United.
Thank you so much!

Hi Heidi.
Thank you. Kind of looks like that. Their best fares in that market are consistently just Monday through Thursdays. Suggest grabbing that for just $20 extra. Not bad, especially when you consider that Saturday is an additional $50.
Aloha

Thank you, thank you!!! Your information is SO valuable and appreciated. I’m a loyal follower, though new to Hawaii vacations.
I would love to think Southwest will be flying by then, but alas, I’m getting worried. We are looking for Phoenix to Maui flights with some flexibility to leave 7/12 vs. 7/13 for example. Is the $465 range one way a price we should grab now or do you foresee opportunities at a lower price approaching?
Any insight is appreciated! Mahalo!

Hi Tracy.
Thank you. No Southwest is not likely to fly until later in the year at the earliest. No one exactly when until SW announces.
For either 7/12 or 7/13 departure, looks like about $859 RT on the non-stop, depending on your return date. Doesn’t seem that will improve by waiting.
Aloha.

If I need to attend a wedding in Maui the beginning of July 2018, when would be the best time to purchase airline tickets? I realize this is high summer season but, of course, my dates aren’t flexible with the wedding. Just wondering if I should buy now at close to $1000 round trip from Austin, TX to Maui or wait. Your advice? Should they fall in price or just keep going up? Sincerely hoping there will be a price drop soon! Thanks.

Hi Anne.
Probably best to bite the bullet and buy now for early July. Availability will be an issue. Bet sure to get whatever else you need right away too. As in accommodations and car rental. Summer is shaping up to be a very busy one.
Aloha.

Hi–I was looking at fares from LAX to Lihue in the middle of May and found a fare of $367–which is really low. Now we are thinking of changing plans and going around May 29-June 10 instead. Fares are about $610 for those dates. Do you think we should wait to see if the fares in June go down or should we buy tickets now? Thanks so much for your help!
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Debbie.
May 29 should yield good prices if you wait another few weeks or so. But June 10 will be problematic because that is high season and a weekend. If you could return a weekday of prior week then probably wait. For June 10, however, hard to predict what might happen, and thus perhaps better to buy. Hard call.
Aloha.
Debbie
Thank you–this helps a lot. I’ll think about the week before. It would probably be less crowded in Kauai then, too.
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Debbie.
Most welcome. Concur it will also be better for crowding, car rental, activities, etc. Tourism here has been pretty much off the map. So whatever you can do to come at less popular times, the better.
Aloha.
Debbie
Thank you. One last question, please. When does the high season begin?
How far in advance should tickets be purchase from Oakland to Kauai for July?
Julie
Hi, Thank You for all the great information on your site and in your newsletters! My husband and I are flying to Maui from pdx on Aug 14th for one week. I’ve been watching prices and many sites say only 3 or 4 seats left at the cheapest price $380 rt. Is this true? Are only 3-4 seats left on the plane? I’ve been waiting for Southwest to make their announcement but I’m wondering if I should just book tickets now. Please advise. Thanks sooo Much!
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Julie.
We wouldn’t personally be troubled by those messages, as they may or may not be marketing driven. Quite doubtful that Southwest will 1) be flying here by then and 2) be flying from PDX at any time.
It’s too early to buy for your travel dates for the most part. Probably will work better about 3 months out. There are no fares for $380 on your exact dates as of right now. Cheapest is $500. Also might tend to avoid the $377 fare that may show up for your dates on United, as it will require a stop.
Aloha.

Hello and thank you for all the wonderful tips and advice!! Currently, Google flights search is showing me an amazing price of 443 RT DEN/HNL 3/21-4/5 but I can’t seem to get that price no matter how I try. (Travel agent, various search sites or even directly with Delta/Hawaiian). Do you have the magic wand/secret? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Stephanie.
We confirm what you found. That fare, which should be on Delta if it exists, doesn’t really work. Some type of error. It could work later, or it might just disappear entirely.
Aloha.
Stephanie R
Thank you! At least I know I’m not crazy even if the price was too good to be true! Looking up the Delta flight #’s provided by Google shows LAX to SEA to probably an unfortunate (for me) glitch. I really appreciate the quick feedback and hopefully *fingers crossed* I can find a real deal here soon!
