We are looking at flights from Oakland to Kauai 12/29, return flight 1/5. Worried I missed the cheapest flights as prices are starting to climb but the flight tracking app we used suggested to wait. Do you think I should cut my losses and just buy the tickets or is there any hope they’ll go down again to where they were ~month+ ago? Thank you 🌿
Hi Jennifer.
There is $588 RT on HA nonstop. That’s a great price actually for the holidays. Suggest buying if that’s what you are looking for.
Aloha.
Thank you so much for your response. The price for that flight was under $400 a week or so ago so I wanted to hold out and see if it would go back down, but it looks like it may just be going up now which makes me nervous to hold out any longer. I may have missed out on an incredible deal to settle for a merely good one 🙂
Can you please tell me the best time to purchase airline tickets to Honolulu for March, 2022?
I forgot to mention…we will be flying out of New Orleans and the dates are March 16 – March 23, 2022.
Thank you
Hi Jen.
Thanks for the added info. It is too early to know if those dates are going to break towards high season or low season, since it is right around spring break. It’s running high at about $900 with a reasonable connection, indicating it will probably be high season.
Spring break is a weird time and it tends to move around a bit. Best suggestion here is to keep an eye on it every couple of weeks. If it stays high and surrounding dates go down, you should probably buy quickly. Otherwise, you can wait. If things go well, you could be looking at $500 or so. Hope that helps.
Aloha.
Thank you for this insight – very helpful.
We’re looking at Dallas – Maui 2/5-2/12/22. The AA nonstop flights are $885/pp main cabin. Should we wait to purchase? Or go ahead and buy now?
Thank you!
Hi Craig.
It looks as though that nonstop may come down by about $100 if you choose to wait. Better prices probably will surface this fall.
Aloha.
Mahalo,
Do you think these flights will drop later in the fall or should I bite the bullet and get the AA non-stop economy flights for $885?
Thank you so much for your info and the blog. It’s been very helpful.
Hi Craig.
Thanks. We think the price might come down about $100 for that nonstop if you choose to wait a bit and keep checking.
Aloha.
Thanks for the info! I was just wondering, we are flying out of Pittsburgh to Honolulu around 8/28/21. Should I bite the bullet and buy now or do you feel I should wait it out a little bit to see if the prices come down? Thanks for your help!
Hi Tara.
Good connections on that route for your departure date are about $600, which is really excellent already. Might or might not improve from there. If you’re flexible and can fly mid-week, then consider waiting. Otherwise, not.
Aloha.
Thank you for the information. We are planning a trip to Hawaii Nov 3-13 and first class tickets are showing $5000-$7000 for the 2 of us. Do you think those prices will come down? Wondering if I should wait and watch.
Thank you for any thoughts you have
Hi Dawn.
Please provide your airport pairs and any other pertinent details so we can have a look and let you know.
Aloha.
We are able to fly out of San Antonio or Austin and would prefer our layover to be in Dallas (the research I’ve done shows this route has lie flat seats on American) thank you for the response!
Hi Dawn.
To Honolulu (you didn’t state destination), check just now we found approx. $2500 to over $3000 round trip per person on American for your dates. That is to be expected and it is doubtful it will go down in price. BTW, the faster the connection to/from SAT the higher the price.
Aloha.
We are flying from midwest, most likely Minneapolis to Maui next March 13-20, 2022. I found flights for $670, would you suggest purchasing now, or do you think flights will go down in price before then?
(Could fly out of Omaha or Kansas City also)
Hello,
I am traveling to Big Island from PDX 8/9/21-8/20/2021. Prices are high and I’m not sure if I should buy now or wait it out?
Thank you
Hi Lexi.
It looks to be quite well sold. Especially the nonstop. This is to say that it isn’t likely for those dates to go down. Possible, but not likely.
Aloha.
Looking to go 11/18 or 11/19 and come back on 11/27. Prices are very high right now. This would be Leaving from atl and going to Maui or Honolulu. When do you suggest buying the tickets?
Hi,
Looking at flying around March 16, 2022. Seeing 1500-1800 prices per person. Do you think that will improve or best to just buy now? Thank you!
Hi Jamie.
Without outbound and return dates and points of origin and destination, it is hard to say what you are looking at.
Aloha.
3/16 to 3/26 and MSP to OGG and back. Just curious if you expect much fluctuation in flight prices in the coming weeks or I’m guessing I am just going to be best to lock in now. Wasn’t sure if that was Spring Break prime or not…it is our Spring Break week. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Jamie.
One-stop with a fast connection on American $1,036 RT for your dates. Looks like that will be prime spring break, so not sure prices will go down except at the very end if there’s availability. Price is fair. Delta has nonstop to HNL, but it will cost more and in the end, you’ll have a stop either way.
Aloha.
Thank you! Much appreciate the feedback. I figured that would be where we were going to be sitting.
Thank you for all this information. I am planning to Travel to Hawaii end of July to the beginning of August. The prices keep fluctuating and apps are predicting better prices. So I am torn between booking now or waiting until later. Do you think Should I book tickets now or wait?
Hi Chelsea.
Pricing is demand-based so no one knows for sure, including whatever apps are predicting that change. Our sense is that this year that period will not drop, but that starting after August 10, it will start to moderate down.
Aloha.
