We were fortunate enough to get the deal for Feb 1 – 15 $258 RT from Houston via Chicago and San Fran on the return. Thanks for all the advice. Last year we took advantage of the same deal for $230 in September. This year we are paying $378 on Continental in September.

Hi Matt,

You’re right, at that price, it happens next to never. It was just a brief 12 hour spat between the airlines. We had a similar thing just over a year ago. I’d look for a great deal from Minnesota to be more like $400′ish.

Aloha, Jeff

Thanks for the tip on this airfare. I searched on Kayak and got a $276.40 round trip fare from MSP to HNL via O’Hare. That can’t be avoided from MSP, but I am very pleased. I was the victim of much teasing a few years ago when I was so proud of another round trip fare in the $200s from MSP to HNL on Continental because I had to go to Cincinnati first. So Chicago seems pretty efficient to me. My trip is in January when it is absolutely awful here and I will be thinking of you guys when I am there enjoying the warmth. Thanks again. Vicki

Hi Jeff,

I live in Minnesota. I’m still kicking myself for not being able to grab the $276 round trip deal to Honolulu soon enough yesterday. I found the date and flights I wanted, delayed a little bit on submitting my credit card info, and the next thing I know, it’s gone! ><

Anyway, guess my question is how often do you see deals like this from Minneapolis to Hawaii? I myself haven’t seen fare this low like forever.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Diane,

I’ll update it above, as I forgot to mention it. Easily found on Kayak.

Aloha, Jeff

How do you find the dates these fares are available? All the airlines and trip providers (like Priceline, etc.) don’t offer a flex date option that I can see.

Thanks!
