Updated 8/1/2018. Here is where you will find the best time to visit Hawaii for deals. If you must travel during specific periods, then here are important dates that will impact your costs. This post is perfect for budget travelers when price is the major determining factor.
Remember too that two big changes are in process. First, a new fleet of planes has been arriving at Hawaiian Airlines. That will positively impact competition and result in improved pricing as new routes for the A321’s are announced. Second, Southwest Hawaii flights will begin in the months ahead. See more on what we expect below.

3. Winter/snowbird season 2019 includes travel from January 8 through mid-March, 2019. We are going to see better than anticipated winter prices making this a great time to visit Hawaii.

Summary. A winter, spring or fall Hawaii vacation gets our unequivocal thumbs up as best choice whenever possible. The very finest in Hawaii weather is found during spring and fall (winter isn’t bad either when compared with anywhere on the mainland). These are times you can also luxuriate in the feeling of having the islands all to yourself. That’s something which is only possible during low season and we can’t say enough just how beneficial that is. Plus you’ll have the best chance to score Hawaii vacation deals.
