  1. I would like to visit December 2016. I’m not really concerned about flight cost, but rather, hotel cost. Is there a general ‘cutoff’ date for lower prices before they jump for Christmas holiday?

    Thanks!

    1. Hi DJ.

      Accommodations in Hawaii at the holidays are planned and often booked a full year in advance. Jump on that right away. Doubtful of any discounting except at undesirable locations. Also consider vacation rentals.

      Aloha.

  2. Hi!
    I am interested in booking a flight for Jan. 16th to Jan. 23rd from Seattle to Honolulu. I searched up flights and the best prices I found were between $510-$530 roundtrip. Is this a good deal or should I wait till a specific time or day for prices to drop?
    Thank you so much

    1. Hi Diana.

      Suggest you wait until the next time flights are at reduced prices, as they were last week. Target price on that route for those dates is under $450RT Today that is $508.

      Aloha.

  3. I was looking to book a flight just yesterday 9/15 but didn’t have my card with me thinking one day couldn’t make a huge difference in price change. Coming out of LAX to HNL it was 518.00 round trip, this morning it’s all around 650.00… did something happen or is this normal?!

    Thanks

    1. Hi Josh.

      That’s normal. There was a fare sale last week and now that is largely over. Should be back again reasonably soon and we’ll be watching for and posting about that.

      Aloha.

  4. Thanks for this amazing website! I have a question on when to purchase our flights from SFO to HNL for a family of 4. Our dates are April 30-May 7. I checked today and the prices for HA was $494 RT. Do you expect the prices to drop or should I buy now.

  5. CAN YOU PLEASE INFORM ME WHEN WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO PURCHASE TICKETS FOR MY FAMILY OF 3 ADULTS. WE ARE GOING TO KAUAI FROM DECEMBER 2-9, 2017. AT LEAST THIS IS WHEN THE HOUSE WE HAVE ON KAUAI IS RESERVED. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE IDEAL TIME TO PURCHASE TICKETS PRICEWISE. WILL BE TRAVELING FROM DFW TO LIH(LIHUE) KAUAI AND ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION YOU WOULD HAVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.

    1. Hi Chuck,

      $821 is the price for 1-stop. Cheaper fares of up to about $200 around the same dates require more stops and up to 8+ hours more transit time each way. The $800 fare may or may not improve. It is fair. There is probably no harm in waiting because demand will be low. Can’t say how long you may need to wait, but keep watching with a target of low $700’s until up to 3-4 weeks in advance.

      Aloha.

  6. Hi there! Flying from SFO to Oahu roundtrip for $494 from Dec 9-16, is that a great deal?
    Also, would you suggest staying on this island the whole week? is that too much time there? Sorry, first timer to hawaii.. Trying to get the best deal and time out of Hawaii.

    Thank you so much!

    1. Hi Daisy.

      Not great but rather an okay fare. A day earlier on both ways drops it to $432. Your days may or may not improve because Fridays are usually higher. You can stay on any island for a week or a month or whatever period and never see or experience everything. Moreover, changing islands means spending 1/2 day or longer with transportation between getting to and from airports, security, waiting and flying. With only one week, that’s hard to recommend. What about making this trip all about Oahu and then planning a return visit soon to one of the other islands? Enjoy whatever you decide to do. Don’t forget to pick up a copy of Oahu Revealed, the definitive guidebook.

      Aloha.

    1. Hi Frank.

      We’re seeing $565 nonstop as of this morning. If you can go and return one day earlier then $447 to $508. Might get a bit better if you wait and no rush on that route. Target mid to high $400’s RT.

      Aloha.

  8. Thanks for a great site and wonderful resources! We’re wanting to take a family trip (4 kids, 2 adults) to Kauai in Aug 2017. When would be the best time to book and what price range should I expect. Flying out of SLC.

    Thanks!

    1. Hi Craig.

      Thank you. If you’re coming before mid-August you’re in high season and that is best purchased as soon as available (330 days in advance). If you’re coming in the 2nd half of the month, however, it is worth waiting until three to six months ahead as those prices are more likely to vary and have downward possibilities. Expect to pay $700’s for early August and up to $200 less later in August.

      Aloha.
