Updated June 22, 2018. Alaska Airlines Hawaii deals for late summer and fall travel are back. All priced from $169 to $219 each way. And while there are no longer any $99 airfares at the moment, we expect to see those return again. So stay tuned here.
In addition, Alaska announced this week that it will begin service between Sacramento and Kona starting this December. Flights will operate three times weekly. The new route joins their nonstop service between Sacramento and Maui. In total Alaska operates on average 29 daily departures to Hawaii from 10 West Coast cities.
Alaska’s new route is in advance of Southwest’s soon to be announced service to Hawaii, which to a large degree will target Alaska’s routes from San Diego and the Bay Area.
Fares are available for purchase through tonight only, although availability and the offers themselves could end at any time. Fly on 20 routes on sale to four islands.
Luxurious late summer and fall weather in Hawaii, together with fewer crowds, make for ideal times to visit the islands!
Pamper yourself with warm days under the iconic Hawaiian sun. These are among our favorite times of year in the island and are the cheapest time to fly to Hawaii.
Ends Tonight | Alaska Airlines Hawaii Deals $169+
Airline: Alaska Airlines. Check for possibility of competitive pricing on Hawaiian Airlines.

Sabra says
Good morning!
We live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and are wondering if there are any good deals ever offered to travel to Hilo or Kona from here. We could travel out of MIA, FLL OR PBI.

Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Sabra.
With good connection, in off-season, prices to KOA from FLL or MIA start about $700. Up to $100 less with horribly long (20+ hour) connections. Hilo is always more money.
Aloha.
Sabra says
Mahalo!
Reba says
Hi looking for RT tickets for 2 aldults to Honolulu from Atlanta Ga, or Charlotte NC, or Greenville SC. Want to go August 12-19 2018. Do you have any flights out of these airports?
Rona says
my husband and I are looking for air and hotel for Ohau March8-15 2019.
Any infor/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Rona
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Rona.
Feel free to subscribe to our updates. Moreover best info is probably here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/. We don’t know exactly when spring break will hit, but you might be in the midst of it, which could make it expensive.
Aloha.
Rick T says
Rona – A few suggestions from a traveler. Remember, Southwest deals come out for comparison (Dec. 2018? / Jan. 2019?) However, your March 2019 date may be cutting it too close. But you can start now = Do your homework on the hotels that come in the Hawaiian Airlines flight/hotel packages so there are no surprises. Many/most have added costs like “resort fee” and “parking fee.” Read everything closely. Also, read the hotel reviews. Those extra fees can add $50 or more to the DAILY costs. Hawaii and Oahu are amazing. Best wishes. – Rick
Marsha M says
Mahalo my friends !!!!
What a great fare.
Scored a pair of tickets to Kona.
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Marsha.
Go glad that worked out for you. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. 🙂
Aloha.
Ceri says
I want to fly Kona to Los Angeles in August 23-28.
When would be the best time to buy tickets?
Karen says
Hi, we’re looking to travel from Oakland, Ca to Honolulu Mid Octorber to early Nov this year, can you please advice when it’s best to book for flights? Thank you for your help!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Karen.
That’s what this post is all about: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/.
Probably will work best from late spring to mid summer.
Aloha.
Susan O says
Hi! We are planning a trip from Phoenix to Maui 9/17/18-9/24/18, when would be the best time to book flights to get the best prices?
Ann says
Am looking for May 5 from San Diego to Honolulu and back on May 19 . Thank you . Ann
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Ann.
$442 on United one-stop or $580 on Alaska nonstop. Might improve, however you are flying Saturdays, so it may not.
Aloha.
jo says
Check your emails daily, however nothing is ever from the Salt Lake City area to HNL. Looking for a good fare.
Debbie Jo says
May husband and I have plans to travel to Maui inJune of 2019, we live in Central Texas, is there any deals flights from Texas? Is the date to far off to book?
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Debbie Jo.
No there will not be any deals. Traveling in June means high season, and you will do best to plan to buy 11 months in advance. That goes for airfare, accommodations and car. From 2nd week of June on, it is peak season and Hawaii easily gets oversold.
Aloha.
Debbie says
Darn… ok thank you!
Debbie says
So flying from Texas (Austin area)will we have to fly to CA then catch a flight to Hawaii, or is there any flights from Texas?
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Debbie. Technically possible in the future with the new longer range narrow body aircraft.
Aloha.
Nikki says
Hello,
Pretty anxious about flights out of N. CA. Planning to go 7/5-7/13 and can’t seem to find anything less than $650-$830 RT!?!? Willing to go out of any reasonably priced airport as long as it is a nonstop flight. Went in June 2016 and paid $438 RT. Can I have your opinion on buying now or waiting, please? Mahalo!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Nikki.
You didn’t indicate where you are going. Checking Maui $418 RT, Honolulu $496 RT on United for your dates.
Aloha.
Bobalee01 says
Those are great deals, too bad I can’t get off work on that short of notice.
I did receive a email along with yours today from Matthew Bennett’s First Class Flyer newsletter that states:
New $614 to $998 R/T Fares Found to Hawaii Business Class From Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, Phoenix, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle,
When was the last time you saw Business Class fares this low to Hawaii?
Now you have subscribe to his news letter to get the facts, perhaps it’s tied in with your discount deal. do you know anything or any Beat of Hawaii reader know about this and want to share?
Mahalo & Aloha
Lee
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Lee.
We rarely cover premium inasmuch as it isn’t what most of our visitors seek. Those fares you mentioned are very limited in dates, not in best cabins, and most required stopovers.
Aloha.
Tammy says
We are going to be in Maui April 3rd-18th. We have family on kawaii and we’re wonder what inner island would run us if we wanted to head over there on the back end?
Thanks Much!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Tammy.
Plan on flights costing $200 rt (it’s time of day/day of week dependent). Plus car and accommodations. Early April will be very busy everywhere, so might want to start checking and booking, especially if towards your arrival dates.
Aloha.
Rob says
Are there ever these kind of deals departing from Anchorage, AK?
Thanks,
Rob
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Rob.
No they are not. Limited market. Typically starting at $500 RT and best might be $400.
Aloha.
Eric C says
We are going to Kauai in June to scout for a place to rent and are not able to take advantage of the low rates. We may be able to use the low rates later when we move there from Seattle.
Peter B says
Love, love, LOVE Beat of Hawai’i! I am moving back to Hawai’i and saw in today’s email that I could fly Alaska Airlines for $99, jumped on it, and got me a ticket! You guys ROCK!!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Peter.
Glad it worked out and thanks for letting us know.
Aloha.
Karina says
I cannot find any of those flights/prices.
Valerie says
Mahalo!!
Don’t usually take mini-vacations mid week, but this deal was too good to pass up. SFO | OGG early MAY for $197…. just count not beat that.
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Valerie.
We concur. If we weren’t already booked this deal is too good to pass up. Glad it worked out.
Aloha.
Jim says
Hi, when it says Maui $99 with April dates and a May 1st date the flight must be used by that date?
Thanks,
Jim
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Jim.
We indicated those are the available departure dates. There are quite a few return dates and those vary by route. If you indicate which route, we’ll be glad to give you those.
Aloha.
Jim says
I am looking for flight dates leaving in September. Maybe October.
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Jim.
Then these definitely won’t work for you. This is just April/May travel. Travel after peak of summer will have many more deals ahead – we won’t really start to see those for at least another month or two.
Aloha.
Jim says
Thanks for your help.
Jim
Ron G says
The $146 each way sounds great, as long as you don’t mind 2 stops and even with that the lowest I saw was $426 ($213 each way) so its a low price…but the pain of dealing with multiple stops would have me willing to spend a bit more.
