We visit the islands each year as a large family group during late January/early February. For 2018 it will be first part of April, which is Easter. Please advise on whether you remember fares ever being put on sale during that time. We would arrive mid week and depart mid week with Easter being over that weekend. Are we out of luck in finding cheap fares? Aloha, George
Hi George.
Easter isn’t relevant but spring break is. The first week and into the second week will be high season so we do not expect to see any price reductions. Having said that, spring break is more fluid than say the end of year holidays. So it is possible that some of those dates might go down in price. Not likely, but possible. On the other hand, if you have a trip you are determined to make, that hope may not do you any good.
Aloha.
Is Hawaiian really going to put a small A321 on the Phoenix route? The flight is full each time I fly. How do you cut down by 60 passengers? That isn’t cost efficient. I like the widebody planes over the ocean to be honest. Sure seems to me like they should put an A330 on the route. Actually a B777 would be much better, but I know they aren’t buying those.
If this news translates into lower fares, then this is great news!
My daughter and I will be traveling to Kauai from Portland, OR next September.
Based on what I have read here today and also recently by your sight I am wondering, even if I soon see the prices go down, if I should wait to purchase our airline tickets after the new years starts?
Please, any helpful information you can give me regarding this will be much appreciated.
Hi Diane.
Yes you should wait until more flights are announced between now and early 2018.
Aloha.
Aloha!
We are planning a family (7 of us) trip to Oahu in June 2018. I’m a Hawaiian Airlines miles member and have enough points for one flight.
Currently the price is about $650 round trip from Oakland, Ca to Honolulu.
Could you please advise if you anticipate that price to drop and how long I should wait to book?
Thank you so much.
Hi Debbie.
It will probably work out for you to wait. Not sure how long – but until you see fares in the $500’s. Can’t promise but that’s our hunch having done this for a long time.
ALoha.
