  1. Aloha,
    I have been keeping an eye on the flights from the west coast (bay area) to lihue. Do you think flights in early November will be lower than the current $600.00 if I wait until Sept to book? Your best advise good or bad. Mahalo! Karyn

    1. Hi Karyn.

      There are many RT fares of under $500 in November, so you must be talking about Thanksgiving week. In that case, no it is not likely to go down.

      Aloha.

    2. Hi Karyn.

      Midweek fares from SJC are $461 for November. That’s about as good as we expect to see.

      Aloha.

    3. Aloha! I look forward to your email alerts and helpful information. It’s great there’s more competition right now but as I’m looking at flights to Kona from LA for either late August or early September and as far as late September, they still seem a little higher versus last year. Do you think it’s a good time to buy given the sales, or will prices drop even lower? I’m flexible on dates so I’m looking for the best deal. Mahalo.

      1. Hi April.

        There are $488 RT fares on Hawaiian last week of August and in September – nonstop. Good price and highly unlikely it will improve.

        Aloha.

  2. Going to Maui for a wedding Dec 13th – Dec 22nd, flights currently $591 (direct flight out of LAX) Good deal or wait?

    Thank you for your help! 🙂

    1. Hi Stephanie.

      Probably a fair price given the fact that your return is very much high season. Consider buying now.

      Aloha.

  3. Hello, I’m planning a trip to The BIG Island (HNL) with my daughter in June 1st-11th 2018. This will be our first trip to Hawaii. We are flying from Ohio. When is the best time to purchase my tickets? I’m glueless when it comes to the best time to buy. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks

    1. Hi Pete.

      Well departure date is low season and return is high season. Not sure whether you mean Big Island or Honolulu. Also Ohio has different airports. Looking at Cleveland to Honolulu, it’s pricing at about $1,100 RT. It could improve, but since return is high season, not sure. Best suggestion is to wait until spring to book. Probably won’t go higher and could improve.

      Aloha.

      1. Also, you could save yourself a few hundred dollars just by departing/returning a couple weeks earlier if your dates are flexible at all.

  4. Hello! Considering buying one way as we are considering a stay of a couple months or a move….. if it does not look like a good idea we will need return tickets 9/14 or so to Sacramento from Hilo. Should we risk waiting or buy them round trip and add trip insuraance? Please advise.
    Thank you

    1. Hi Stephanie.

      Not entirely clear what you are asking. So generally, one way tickets to Hawaii are sometimes just 1/2 of round trip. But you need to check as it isn’t always true. Flying ITO-SMF on 9/14 approximately, should not be an issue as that is off season and availability will be good.

      Aloha.

    1. Hi Jeanette.

      Good question. They fluctuate, but generally much less so and they are almost never part of a “fare sale.”

      Aloha.

  5. need direct flights from Portland Or. to Big Island Hawaii Too difficult to get there because you have to land else where on the west coast first or land in Honolulu either way it’s a bunch of malarkey Please help Thank You Buckley N

  6. Thanks for keeping me up to speed on Hawaii flights, a follower for many years now. Lax to HNL oct 14-24. Should I buy now? When’s the best time to buy tix for the family?

    1. Thanks Jon.

      Tricky market with new competition coming to the west coast causing more variability than usual in fares. Gut call is to wait with target of $500 or less. Keep a lookout – we will too.

      Aloha.

  7. Hi,
    We a trying to plan a trip from Chicago to Kona or Lihue. We are open to dates, but leaning toward Jan or Feb of 2018. Any tips on finding a lower airfare? The lowest I have found is around $800 RT.
    Thank you,
    Maria

  8. Got a trip planed to Maui Jan 1-31 2018 when do you think should buy tickets. flying from DTW. Thank you.

    1. Hi William.

      That departure date could stay expensive. Otherwise, unless you want a 19 hour duration at just under $800, fares are near $1,000 with a 12 hour duration. Optimal is low $800’s with fast connection. Might happen, but can’t say for sure or when. Just keep watching.

      Aloha.
