We are taking our family of 25 to Maui in Feb 2022. Should we still wait until this summer to book flights, or book now to make sure we all get on? Also does anyone know of a good way to book flights for 25 people? Thank you!
Hi Joann.
When you have 10 or more the airlines provide coordination and a group travel discount. Contact them directly. It is too soon to say how prices will shake out for February, and you didn’t provide your city pairs, so we can’t say yet when to buy.

Looking into flights from PA to Honolulu for June, one stop is costing $930 for round trip. Can you tell me if that is normal for that flight? Seems high still, but is that a deal due to COVID and we should book now, or would that be the going rate a year or so from now? Just curious if booking a vacation now would offer any discounts, or if it is within the normal pre-COVID prices? Thank you!
Hi Mary.
That is normal for peak summer travel from mid-June to mid-August. It will still be the rate next year, as it has been for the past 30. Last year was different, but virtually no one was traveling.
Aloha.
Planning to travel to Maui on mid August this year, when is a good time to buy tix?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Thuy.
The best prices for late summer travel are typically found in early summer. We’ll be reporting any sales or significant prices fluctuations.
Aloha.
Early summer like in the week of June 20th?
Hi Thuy.
Early summer is the first 10 days of June. June 20 is peak season.
Aloha.
Hello, thank yiu for the information. We are looking to travel in late August/early September, are you suggesting we buy now?
Hi Peggy.
No, we are suggesting you wait until early to mid-summer to purchase for late summer travel.
Aloha.
Thank you for your help. Per you suggestions, it appears between June and August price is predicted to drop for November travel. Is that still a good time to purchase airline tickets for Thanksgiving? If I wait until then are the prices likely to go up for that week of travel?
Thanks
Hi Linda.
No, for Thanksgiving week holiday travel, it is best to buy now. Prices are unlikely to drop unless towards the last minute and availability may be the biggest issue.
Aloha.
I’m concerned about your advice to purchase Christmas tix now – do you know that from Denver to Lihue it’s currently almost $2000? You really don’t think they’ll drop?
Mahalo!
Hi Holly.
Appears you are looking at the nonstop. Many days at the holidays that flight is running under $1,300 RT. The other higher-priced days look like they will be sold out. We really don’t expect anything to change.
Aloha.
You can always plug into google.com/flights and set up notification for any price drops.
Thanks for this info! When should we buy for Thanksgiving then?
Hi Serena.
Best to buy for peak Thanksgiving days now.
Aloha.
Thanks so much

Last year we had to take what was available. Many flights had been combined making flights full on United out of SFO and prices were high too. This year is beginning to look more normal, that I know how to deal with. Just hoping that something doesn’t put a monkey wrench in the works.
Aloha Gentleman.
Aloha Guys,
Wanted to say Mahalo for all the updates and info you put out to keep everyone informed of the ever changing situations in Hawaii! My wife and I are fully vaccinated and have booked our trip to Kauai at the end of May. Seeing as how the vaccine passport probably won’t be in place by the time we leave, could you please give us any info on the best travel partner to get our Covid test and results back in the time frame needed, leaving from SoCal? After living on Kauai in the early seventies, and now going back for vacations, I never would have imagined going thru so much to get back to paradise.
Mahalo
Hi Joe.
Thank you. You have a good range of options for Southern Cal. and others will comment too about their preferences. You can do rapid testing for more money, or slower walk-in, or test by mail via Costco or Vault.
Aloha.
As a FYI, when we contacted Costco for our covid test before travel to Hawaii in January they would NOT guarantee test results within the allotted 72 hour time frame!
I’m not sure if this still is the case. We used Vault and had no issues!
Hi Mike.
Thanks for that. A good reminder that you always need to be sure a provider can offer results within the required timeframe.
Aloha.
