Hello! Thank you for your great website! I saw on one of your articles that you advise waiting for a possible sale in the new year for travel in early June. We are traveling from Seattle to Maui for a vacation from June 2 until the 9th of this year. Current flights from Seattle to Maui nonstop on Hawaiian Airlines are $463 round trip. That price has not moved for probably 2 months. I read somewhere that airlines start actively pricing 4 months out. Would you advise booking at $463, or do you think it might drop to $400 round trip for a non stop flight?! My wife and I went in October for our anniversary and got them for $354, but I don’t anticipate getting that in June! Trying to gauge when to book flights for our June trip…Any advice?!?! Thank you!
Hi Jeff.
That is $327 RT nonstop at the moment on Hawaiian or Alaska. Wouldn’t hesitate.
Aloha.
We love your website! My husband and I have accommodations in Maui from March 27 – April 4 2020. We will be flying from albuquerque and current RT flights are 815 up from 750 a few weeks ago. Should we pull the trigger now or wait for them to go back down? Thank you!
Hi Angie.
Spring break is hardest time to forecast. It seems like you’re on some of the highest price dates of that season. Thus no indication that prices will ease by waiting. Thus suggest either buy now, or be flexible about if/when you come.
Aloha.
I just read the rules so hopefully you can respond to a previous post.
My wife and I are travelling to Maui departing from albuquerque March 27-April 4 2020. Prices recently went up from 750 to 815. Should I continue waiting for prices to drop or should I jump on it? Thank you. Bob B.
Hi Bob.
We just answered your question left by Angie in another comment. Let us know if there’s anything else.
Aloha.
Hi Beat of Hawaii!
My question is not about Maui travel but Oahu travel.
We are planning a winter visit (late january 2020) and traveling from LAX to HNL. I have plenty of miles for several of our travelers from previous visits but need to purchase 3 more tickets (I’ve already secured the first few seats using miles). I’m aiming for $350 for coach seating per person for the remaing seats but am wondering if that’s about right for winter travel from LAX to HNL. Should I aim lower? Higher? We’re arriving on a Tuesday and departing on a Wednesday. I DO have the hopper APP but it doesn’t notify me right away, I’ve noticed. I seem to have better luck checking/monitoring websites on my own.
Hi Staci.
That is probably about right. The big unknown here is Southwest getting into that market, when that will happen, and how it will impact pricing. We should know more about that by early fall. It would be good to wait in order to obtain best pricing.
Aloha.
Hi ,
We are looking to travel mid August for 7 days from San Diego to Maui. I’m finding $355 per person not lower than that.
Did I miss the deal? Should I still wait and see or buy the tickets?
Thanks
Hi Fara.
First, prices we show are one way including all taxes and fees. Second, you cannot expect to find those in days after we post them. You are inquiring a week later. To obtain the prices we quote, they should be purchased within minutes to hours thereafter.
Aloha.
Looking at Christmas in Hawaii (Yes we know usual deals aren’t an option) though do you have any suggestions for best time to buy to get best price possible?
Hello. A first timer here and trying to book last minute for a trip next month. Fares are decent for the 13th-22nd. What airport is best to fly into for a 7 day trip. We want to take as much is as possible without spending too much time island hopping. Want to take in scuba, volcano’s, helicopter tour, some hiking, and mostly just lay on the beach.
Aloha! I am 4 months out and getting nervous about prices. Looking like about 350 each way from GSP to OGG and back from HNL to GSP. Should we bite the bullet or expects more drops closer to 3 months out
Thank you!
Hi Meredith.
Not enough details to really help. If mid week in October is the plan, then you’re safe to wait and it might come down some. Best target price is going to be about $600. If weekends, then best not to wait.
Airlines just raised rates last week and that will hold for a while. You might need to wait until July or August to see anything better.
All depends on your patience in terms of waiting or buying now.
Aloha.
Hi again. We’re planning a Thursday through the following Tuesday. So both midweeks. So your advice is to keep being patient?
Hi Meredith.
Yes that’s correct.
Aloha.
It’s averaging about $700 right now
Thank you
Hi Meredith.
When we post deals you really have to jump on them within minutes to hours. That’s all the time that you have.
Aloha.
Aloha!
My fiancé just proposed and we are planning a Maui destination wedding. We have our accommodations locked in for Feb. 6-15, 2020. Would be super grateful if you could advise on when to think about purchasing airfare. We are traveling MKE to OGG. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Leanne.
So probably will be best priced this fall sometime – can’t say exactly when. Target price is under $550 RT. The Saturday return date is going to cost about $50 extra (might be $500 otherwise).
Aloha.
Thanks so much …. I will keep checking and hold out awhile!
Thinking ahead for summer 2020 travel from RDU to Maui/Oahu. Have some flexibility in which month to go. Will stay 10-14 days. Party of 4. Open to stopover on West Coast to help with time difference/jetlag. Don’t have unlimited funds so any advice on high/low season, where/when to fly, etc is appreciated.
Hi Mike.
What you are asking about is contained in this series: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii-is-coming-soon/. In a nutshell, however, mid-August is the sweet spot for summer travel.
Aloha.
I’m looking for LAX-OGG flights anytime in October 2019 (6-8 nights). Is the current pricing of $360-ish RT the best I can hope to do? Are the days of $199 RT flights over? Thanks.
I’m curious as to why you left off Southwest Airlines in your rate quotes??
We would like to take a trip to Maui from 6/25 -7/1. Will Airfare from Sacramento or San Francisco be dropping anytime soon? Thanks
Hi Valerie.
No it will not. That is one of the highest priced weeks of the year. Accommodations and car should be checked immediately as well.
Aloha.
Could you please tell us if you think Las Vegas to Maui will be happening with southwest by February 2020?
Hi Linda.
No that won’t be happening by then.
Aloha.
Thank you.
Will there be any good deals from Las Vegas to Maui in February? Last I saw American was 477RT. Thank you
Hi Linda.
About $350 is best hope. Currently at $427 on United which is not bad.
Aloha.
What are your thoughts about Christmas flights? We are flying from Phoenix, and in the past, they’ve been around $1000 roundtrip that time of year. Do you expect them to be lower this year? Is there going to be a good time to buy this year? Thanks!
Hi Joanna.
Doubtful that Christmas will be different this year although with more competition that is at least a remote possibility. There are too many variables to nail it down further at this time. If you’re set on plans, then suggest booking air, accommodations, car now. Otherwise, if you’re flexible and willing to gamble, then suggest waiting. You could however either pay more later, need to change dates or go somewhere else instead.
We’ll let you know as soon as there is more information. SWA remains an important variable, but we just don’t when when or where they’ll be flying yet.
Aloha.
Hi there, we’ve been watching fares for the last 9 months for our June 6-13 trip to Maui from Denver. In the past we’ve paid between $530-$630. Haven’t seen it drop below mid $700’s… are fares just up now? Should we wait a bit longer? That last time we went was June 2015 and fares dropped in October. Never saw a drop this go around. Any advise would be great. Thanks!
Hi Erin.
Probably more flights from Denver will happen in not distant future with new planes arriving at HA and SW among others. But for now, there are fares in mid $500’s in May but they aren’t extending to your dates. Your dates might be added later, but it’s hard to say. Seems like you should be able to wait given mid-week. Only issue in that is that 13th is technically high season, so possible that date may never go down.
Aloha.
Hi. Please let me know what i can expect to oay for flights from Phoenix to Maui june 3 -9.
Thx
Get on the Hopper App and they’ll notify you when you should buy at the cheapest prices. Just make sure to click the “watch flight” or “keep watching”. It’s about $900 and up from Austin, TX mid June.
Hmmm…with places like Las Vegas and Phoenix becoming a jumping off points from the west coast because the new jets entering service, I wonder what kind of airfares we can expect to see. Are they dropping now in anticipation? Want news in these cities?
I tried San diego to Maui flight in June through american and united and they both came up at least $900 round trip. What am I doing wrong.
Hi Donna.
Currently from mid $800’s to $1,000+. Depends on stops/duration. Best possible target is lot to mid $400’s. Thus might improve by waiting – but it’s hard to predict.
Aloha.
Aloha, thanks for your help! Because of you I was able to snag some low fares and put together my own flight package from Denver and save well over $500 on 2 tickets! This site is very appreciated! I’ll see you all in August for 2 weeks of Maui and Kauai to celebrate my wedding! Mahalo!
Hi William.
So glad to hear that! Thank you for letting us know, we really appreciate it.
Aloha.
Aloha!
Been watching fares daily per your emails. Our trip to Maui is May 29-June 12. Is it likely fares will continue to fall and cover those dates?
Mahalo,
Dave B.
Hi Dave.
No departure city was listed. Your May 29 date will be fine but June 12 will be in high season and could be problematic. Low season dates will continue to see more deals, but high season probably not.
Aloha.
To Beat of Hawaii staff,
This is a great website guys. I kind of stumbled on to it by accident. Wish i would have had access to it the last couple of years. Could have saved a lot of money. Keep up the good work and I’m passing this along to friends.
Hi Jim.
Thanks very much!
Aloha.
You are such great advocates for Hawaii that possibly you may be able to assist those of us who do not live on the west coast. Hawaiian will not allow bags to be checked through on separately booked flights, leaving travelers to choose from the combinations of flights folk like Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia, etc. decide are attractive. Where can travelers like me go to book on one ticket, combinations that are great, but aren’t on the lists, or at least at reasonable fares. For example HA 549/HA 48 KOA to OAK, arriving at 9:25 pm, should be able to connect with AA 508 OAK-DFW, departing at 11:55 pm. These flights are currently listed at $227.70 and $179.00 on the airlines websites, but even with 223 other combinations on Google Flights, that combination isn’t on the list. Or on Orbitz or Expedia. Help. I’m willing to do the research, I just need a place to go to get it on one ticket at the same price as on the airlines websites. Thanks
Hi Bob.
Yes, understand your situation and the complexity these days of interlining. Also that you aren’t able to put two good fares together and still have a good fare all the way through. Honestly we don’t know how you can do that without a stopover. Travel agents also came to mind, although not sure they can do anything better. Lastly, you didn’t say your dates, but we see through fares from DFW to KOA starting in the $500’s for low seasons.
Aloha.
