Very good information on domestic travel. Have nor been able to determine what Hawaiian Airlines considers off-peak/off-season for travel to/from Seoul, Korea and Honolulu, Hawaii. I am looking for Business class seats with Hawaiian during the month of September 2024, which is considered off-peak for most carriers, including Korean Air using mileage points. When I attempted to make a mileage round trip (using my awards), Hawaiian stated I did not have sufficient mileage because that period is considered Business 2, rather than Business 1 (300,000+ points for 2 travelers). An unpublished off-peak travel period means the passengers lack the transparency needed to plan a trip.
One thing we’ve tried that may or may not work with your scheduling requirements is this. Keep contact them regarding the possibility of the lower mileage bucket upgrade. It was worked many times for us.
I’ve spent a great deal of gtime On Mauii and want to come over again this Spring, so I’ve been watching pricing. For me the problem is not getting there but the outrageous price of accomodation. How can I spend my money to help Maui when I can’t afford to rent a place.
Thank you for voicing this issue. I feel the same. I saved for 5 years to get there and then the tragedy. The condo I rented refused to refund my money. I am still going and working extra hard to make it up. I make it perfetly clear on social media to not ask me to tip generously and give give give. Guess what, I will tip the regular 20 percent now and no more. I will ‘have” to shop where prices are best for what I need. So that will take over the local markets, etc. I may have to go to Walmart to shop. I’m over greed all around the world. I seem to be the only ones that mentions this in fear of dis-respecting those that lost so much on Maui. I mourned the loss& I will visit & stay on budget, Period.
Thanks, BOH. I have a lot of flexibility in travel dates. But the family won’t commit to a date as early as I’d like. I wonder – will Google Flights allow me to ask for first-class deals without specific dates?
Those are great fares from Ontario- typically about $1800 r/t for a recliner seat.

BOH,
Any deals on first class? From Ontario or SoCal?

Hi Rod.
There are a lot of dates at $600 each way from Ontario. Have you tried setting price alerts using Google Flights? That’s what we do.
Aloha.

Hi Rod.
Yes your can search without date constraints. One of the selector choices is to search without dates.
Aloha.
