Looking for a deal on Hawaii flights? Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines just dropped a rare 30% discount on redeyes, but you’ll need to book before midnight tonight (September 16, 2025). With fare sales rarely this steep, this flash deal is a great opportunity for travelers who do not mind an overnight departure to save big on Hawaii trips.
What the deal includes.
The sale covers late-evening departures from Hawaii that arrive on the mainland the next morning. Both Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines are participating. On Hawaiian, the discount is built into the booking engine automatically. On Alaska, travelers must use the discount code NIGHT30 to see the savings.
The offer applies to coach fares only and excludes first class. Valid routes include all popular city pairs such as Honolulu to Los Angeles, Maui to Seattle, and Kona to Portland, and more.
Travel dates run from October 7, 2025, through February 11, 2026, excluding the busiest holiday periods in November and December.

Why redeyes matter.
Redeyes are not always glamorous, but they carry real advantages, and they now represent fully half of all Hawaii to mainland departures. For Hawaii travelers, overnight flights mean a full final day on the islands before departure and an early arrival on the mainland that keeps the next day at least semi-productive. Families who want to maximize their vacation time, business travelers seeking to save on an extra hotel night, and budget-conscious flyers looking for the best deal can all benefit from this schedule.
One longtime reader recently told us, “I always book redeyes to save on lodging and make the most of my Hawaii trips.” That sums up why these flights, though less desirable for some, remain popular when the price is right. Are you taking redeyes to stretch your travel dollar, or do you avoid them no matter the discount?
Timing and restrictions.
This is a one-day flash sale. The purchase deadline is 11:59 PM tonight, September 16. Seats are limited, and not every route or date qualifies. Alaska’s code NIGHT30 is valid for itineraries of up to seven passengers booked together, but it cannot be combined with other promotions. Both airlines exclude interisland-only tickets and certain fare classes. Blackout dates include November 20 to December 3 and December 18 to January 6. Taxes, fees, and baggage charges remain the passenger’s responsibility.
Final thoughts.
Flash sales from Hawaiian and Alaska are not unusual, but the size of this discount, combined with the fact that both airlines are aligned, makes this one stand out. In a market where Hawaii fares have been generally trending upward, a 30% cut is welcome relief. Missing tonight’s deadline could mean paying significantly more tomorrow for the same trip.
So what about you? Will you sacrifice a night’s sleep to pocket 30% off your Hawaii flight, or is a redeye still a dealbreaker? Let us know if you manage to grab this offer before the clock runs out.

That’s if you can make it past TSA before it closes to catch that late evening flight. Nice try Hawaii. 30% off a missed flight is no deal to me.
