I am always seriously disappointed that none of the best airfare deals ever include Chicago.
How can flights from Boston get deals but never Chicago? After 20 years of flying to Hawaii, we are ready to give it up due to always expensive flights out of Chicago.

Hello!
Looking to book a trip from SFO to HNL for the 3rd week of February 2020. Do you think there will be any last minute deals coming up? I’ve been tracking prices since black Friday and haven’t really seen anything less than 400 for nonstop flights.
Thank you so much 🙂

Hi Kim.
There is a lot of availability on Hawaiian that week, depending on the day, from $283 RT.

I am looking to take entire family to Kauai when school is out. Would like to go around June 15, what are the fares around that time?
Angel P.
I have never been to any part of HI but would love some advice please! Which island would you recommend flying in to for a first time? And I would be flying from Seattle but have never flown anywhere before so it’s a little scary to figure all this out! Which airline would you recommend for round trip? And what time of year is cheapest overall? I’d love to experience everything on a limited budget for a first time trip.
Not sure where you are looking. Checked all 3 on line for June/July. Nothing close to that. Prices holding steady or increasing the past 2 months.

Hello,when would be the best time to purchase tickets to Kauai?planning july 9-14 2020 leaving Los Angeles to Kauai for a party of 6?I’m debating how far in advance to book as I’m hoping there will be deals on the way?Appreciate any help.Thank you!
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Petite.
Fares for your dates are just over $400 and close to $50 less is you leave and return a day earlier. On multiple airlines. Suggest buying now.

Thank you so much for the info/advice you share. My husband/I always fly Hawaiian and tho there are fare wars, plan to stay with the service Hawaiian offers. Could you please let me know best time to buy tickets leaving San Francisco on Sept 18 for Oahu and returning on October 1. We will choose the main cabin but not the basic economy seats.

Hi Maggie.
Currently $488 RT. Might improve by waiting, although Friday departure won’t be cheap. Perhaps use $400 as a target.

Hi! I really appreciate all of your updates! We’re looking to fly from either LA or Long Beach to Maui in August. I’d like to book our condo now and wait for the best flight deals to come but I’m wondering if there’s a magic date in August where the high season is considered over? We’re flexible (ish) but the kids go back to school 8/18. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Tracy.
It looks like August 11 or so might be the magic date for prices to go down. And of course weekends will remain higher.

Aloha! We are traveling from the PHL area to Kauai in mid August(2020). We want to stop in Oahu for a couple of days to see Pearl Harbor otw. I’ve been reading your comments and signed up for alerts, but not sure if it’s cheaper to try and fly direct to Oahu or to fly somewhere in CA, THEN fly to Oahu. We plan on staying 2 nights then hopping to Kauai for the rest of the trip. Can you recommend the best economical way fly? We’re def Ok doing ‘one-way’ trips.Thanks in advance!
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Vette.
Generally it is problematic to include a stopover unless it is true stopover, that due to luggage checking and possible security re-screening. Not likely to save money either.
It looks like the price will be in the $600’s RT plus the inter-island. Probably best to book about 3 months in advance.
Aloha.

We hadn’t even considered the luggage going from Oauhu to Kauai (inter-island), thanks for that tip. Thanks much – Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!

Yes, there seems to be a ‘sellers game’ now. Nothing different. As usual, you have to do the time to get the tickets that work for you.

I’m looking for fares out to LA in early April. Most of the sales I have been seeing historically involve the Bay Area -> Hawaiian islands routes. Do you anticipate seeing these “airfare wars” extending to additional routes?
Nikki W.
Hello,
Can you please tell me the best options to fly from DTW to HNL? I have tried numerous options. For example, splitting the reservations (DTW – OAK, then OAK – HNL), one-way, etc. I still find the cost is over $1800 for all airlines. We are looking to fly from May 24, 2020 – May 31, 2020. Is this typical due to Memorial Day?
Thank you for your help!
Mahalo!

Hi Nikki.
About $750 RT for your dates. Other dates are as little as about $500 this winter and that could extend until Spring. But you are flying on holiday weekend. Not sure your dates will improve.

Ah, I see. Thank you so much!

I have a condo booked for Maui for the week of Thanksgiving Sat-Sat and I almost exclusively fly southwest. They aren’t showing any dates outside of August yet should I wait or search on the other airlines? Traveling from Austin, Tx. Please and Thank you for your advice.
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Renee.
That’s your call. Those dates will be released soon so you can wait if you want to fly SWA. Or book sooner with another carrier (you’ll have to wait a few more days to be within any carrier 330 day booking window. Either way will be expensive for those dates. Perhaps $900 RT.

Please advise me best options for travel to Maui from STL round trip around our Spring Break (4/4 – 4/11). Tried trip options via SWA and tickets were coming up over $1000 pp. Would be open to flying to one island and home through another so trying to be very flexible.
Thank you so much! Appreciate all the updates from your site.

Hi Cori.
Yes that is correct on pricing, not including interisland. As expected for Saturdays at peak of spring break. Availability will be limited on those dates and prices won’t come down by waiting.

Hello,
2 teachers on budget. Have Southwest miles that we can use.
Looking to go to Kuwaii and Kona fly from LAX or if needed another Ca location like Oakland or San Diego sometime during Winter Vacation which is 12/21-1/6 or Spring Break 4/4-4/12.
Any ideas for low flights?
PS if we got a deal we could also go during Thanksgiving Week 11/23-12/1
Please and Thank you and Mahalo!
Beat of Hawaii
Hi David.
You can’t have it both ways unfortunately: chose 3 of the most expensive times to visit and expect a deal. You can try using SW miles, but otherwise, it will be expensive. Maybe cheapest is 4/6-4/12 into one island and out of the other (plus interisland) at $500 on multiple airlines.

Hi,
I live in Atlanta. 2 years ago I was able to purchase deal from AA with 1 STOP for $375 RT from ATL to Honolulu (dates: JAN-20 to JAN 28). I was hoping Southwest would have similar deal. Unfortunately not yet. Maybe if they allow 737 in the sky in January things might change.

Anything look good from ATL to Maui January or February for 4?

Aloha,
Last May we flew RT from San Jose to Kauai for $420 per person. We’re already checking for May of 2020 and are seeing fares in the $525-600 range. Should we wait them out and see if they go down in the future?
Thank you for your great website!

Thank you. Yes wait! Target price is under $300 rt and it might even get better than that.

Hi Rose.
Not very good pricing overall. There is a $443 RT, 1-stop on Delta, the first week of December, returning the second week. Other than that most starts just over $500 on multiple carriers. No reason to expect it to improve.

Thanks for all your content, such great information! We are planning to Maui from Ohio in June 2020. Since we are so far east, our plan of action is to add an additional travel day onto each end of the trip in order to take advantage of Southwest fares. We are basically planning to book flights between California and Ohio round trip, and wait for Southwest to release more flights early next year in order to book from California to Maui. Do you think this is a good method?
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Charles.
Thanks! Yes that’s a good plan. The only thing to add is that airlines with try their hardest not to compete with rock bottom prices during the peak of summer, or at least to do so to a lesser degree. Who knows at this point how successful they will be. Next summer should, however, be significantly cheaper from the Southwest departure cities than normal, that’s for sure.
Aloha.
Melissa H.
Hi. We are looking at travelling to Maui from San Jose, Ca on April 3rd (popular Spring Break/Easter week. I am seeing fares of $683 RT right now. Do you think these may go lower, or I should probably book? Thanks!
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Melissa.
Next year is hard to predict. Here’s why. While we don’t expect more flights in that market, the additional SWA flights starting in January and those soon to be announced from San Diego could have a ripple effect. Having said that, $700 is the normal fare for spring break. So probably won’t go higher, and might or might not improve by waiting.
Aloha.

Hi David.
For a fast 2-flight trip, it is going to cost in the low $800’s, and that is available now. If you want cheaper, but longer duration and more stops, that is currently about $100 less, and if you want it could be $200 less. That could happen at any point.
