LA/Honolulu $200 Ea Way And Dropping

Published by Jeff at 12:05 am under All Deals

hapuna-beachQuietly, since yesterday, the price of flying between Los Angeles and Honolulu has dropped by $100 round-trip.  It has been stratospheric at well over $500.

While this price is somewhat better, I still expect to see major fares sales cropping up in the next week or two.  Frankly, the situation for the airlines is either have a fare sale or fly the planes with very few passengers for the next month and a half.  We know the airlines won’t be doing that.

If you need to buy now, here’s the deal:

  • Cost: $429-439 round trip (all-inclusive)
  • Airlines:  Delta/Northwest and Hawaiian Airlines
  • Dates:  Travel through mid-December
  • Availability:  Good
  • Advance purchase:  None
  • Minimum/maximum days:  None

    I can book LA to Kauai for three people today including a car for under $1,700. Our trip is scheduled from January5-12. Do you predict better pricing opportunities in the next two weeks?

    Do you have any hints on finding a good deal on airfare from Sacramento, San Fran or Oakland to Kaui? We would like to go in Mid/Late February or early March. I have been watching for deals but haven’t seen anything worth jumping on yet.

    Any suggestions?

    Jeff, I bet all your ‘Beat of Hawaii’ followers are waiting for the good news for air fares to drop for the busy Hawaii winter season 2010 (January – March ‘10), when the ’snowbirds’ are visiting Hawaii from PNW, Alaska and Canada.

    I am really curious myself whether we will see similar discounted Hawaii air fares RT, as we did in February 2009!

    It all depends how much Hawaii tourism has picked up this winter season!

    Thanks for the comments!

    Amy – There’s a 30 day waiting period before a strike can happen and that hasn’t started yet. Therefore the Dec. 1 date.
    Brent – Frankly its anyone’s guess. I might take it only because you January 5 date is too close to New Years and will likely not be part of upcoming sales.’
    Gina – Keep waiting. The deals will come for your dates.
    Pua – I feel quite certain that deals will be comparable to last season.

    Aloha, Jeff

    Hi there,

    I have been keeping my eye on airfare for months! We have already booked our condo for Feb. 4-11th on the big island. Flying from bay area to KOA has been around $500. Today I see Alaska airlines is $410 RT ($449 w/tax). That seems like a pretty good deal. $400 was my target price to pull the trigger. Whatcha think??
    thanks!!

    Hi Angela,

    I’m big on stress reduction, so I’d do it. Just don’t kick yourself if it is less. We’ve seen the route for about $100 less a few months ago.

    Aloha, Jeff

    My family (2 adults 2 kids) will be travelling to Poipu from LAX/SNA on 1/8/09 returning 1/15/09. Current prices are $688pp w/tax through Hawaiian and $582pp w/tax on American.

    How long do you think I should wait to get tickets? I’d prefer to fly Hawaiian because I have miles with them, but a $100 difference in price will have me flying American.

    Thanks,

    Lance

    Hi Lance,

    Sorry, but it isn’t looking good. Unless you’re the type that deal with not knowing, I’d probably book the $575-$582 available fares rather than enduring the stress.

    Aloha, Jeff
