  1. Hello, when will be the best time to buy airline tickets from VLD to KOA for June 28, 2022; returning July 6, 2022 for 4 adults, one child (6 y.o.), and one infant (9 mos.)? We may also consider flying out of Jacksonville, FL to KOA. Dates are not flexible as lodging has already been booked. Thank you!

    1. Hi Nora.

      With dates and circumstances such as you described, it would be best to buy when it is first available. For all airlines other than SW, that is 330 days in advance. Just pay the price, as there will be no deals.

      Aloha.

  2. Hi,
    We are taking a family trip ( 5 adults and 1 paying child) to the Big Island from Minneapolis from 1/7/22 – 1/15/22. We’re ok with 1 stop each way. What is your advice on when to purchase tickets?

    Thank you so much for your help.

    1. Hi Gail.

      Your dates are priced at just over $700 rt. If you wait they could come down by perhaps $130. Might happen in late summer to fall.

      Aloha.

  3. Hi I’m traveling to Maui the last week of October. Should I wait to buy ticket or buy now. Also what’s the average rate of ticket for October?

  4. We are traveling from Seattle to Maui 10/22/21 and direct flights are a bit high. Do you expect they will decrease at some point this summer?

  5. Hello,
    I am planning a family vacation over our spring break leaving on March 19 and return on March 25, 2022. Right now the best flight price I can find is $1085. Chicago to Maui. One stop.
    Do I buy now or wait?
    Thanks so much for your time and help,
    Jennifer

    1. Hi Jennifer.

      Unless you can adjust days, like to one day earlier departure, then you’re right, that’s the price. And no reason to think it would improve for spring break.

      Aloha.

  6. Hi,
    I am looking to travel from Seattle to HNL from 2/19 to 2/25/2022. Alaska Airlines ticket is $1198 per person in the main cabin non-stop. Is this too high to buy now? What is a fair price for those dates?
    Thanks so much.

    1. Hi SlowFong.

      Whatever is going on that weekend, that is the airfare. If you can choose other dates the week following, the airfare is $550. Weekends are running up to $200 higher. Hawaiian is about $50 or so cheaper. And if you want to consider stops, that’s cheaper too.

      Aloha.

  7. Hi! Thanks for this resource!

    I’m looking to fly to honolulu from seattle on the 17th of march through the 29th or march, 2021. Right now non-stop flights for the family are $1477 each. Should I wait on purchasing? That’s quite high.

    1. Hi Ted.

      On your dates nonstop flights are $477 to $585 rt on three airlines. Not sure what your comment about $1477 is about unless you meant $477. You are traveling over spring break and it may not get any better by waiting.

      Aloha.

  8. Hi, my fiancé and I are flying our adult kiddos over to Honolulu to get married on the beach. We have 8 flying from SLC and 3 flying from CLT, October 8th – October 17th. Starting to look for flights and hoping to find some good deals. Would sure appreciate any insight! We are all super excited to come and visit Hawaii!!! (all first time visitor’s)

    Thank you, Kim

    1. Hi Kim.

      From SLC it is about $400 with one-stop and $600 nonstop RT. That market isn’t super-competitive, so we’ll watch with you for sales, but don’t have high expectations. CLT is in the same situation but prices are about $200 higher.

      Aloha.

  9. Hi there, it sounds like you recommend to wait until mid-Summer to purchase two tickets to HNL Jan 10-17, is that right? This is from IAD (Dulles, Washington DC). We’ve found flights for $800, round trip, economy.
