It won't get much cheaper in that market. Alaska is famous for dragging out sales, so it may or may not actually end. Aloha, Jeff Hi Dan,

I found dates that work in December, but I get the sense from you guys that fares for the winter will drop later this summer. The sale ends on Wed, would love your thoughts! by the way, the $169 is one-way before taxes. the RT works out to be just under $360. Thanks, Dan Jeff/Rob,

Doing diligent research in advance of any trip is, as you say a very good idea. I think Honokaa is darling, and you might have too if you'd known what to expect. It isn't, however, a town where most visitors would want to spend their Big Island vacation. Aloha, Rob Hi Catherine,
