Hi,
I’ve been looking at airfares from SFO to Maui and have seen the fares go down via Hawaiian to $768 last week and now back up to $830 for their round trip legs at the end of July. Unfortunately, my dates are not flexible and will need to fly out on a Saturday and back on the Sunday after. Do you think that there is a chance of the fare dropping again? I booked around the same time last year and once I booked my flight, the fare dropped two days after!
Thank you and look forward to you thoughts on this.

Hi Sophia,
Not sure what dates, but if 7/23 to 7/31 for example (Saturday through following Sunday) then $659 to $736 depending on airline. Yes the bay area is very volatile so summer discounts are more possible than with other cities. Your travel days of course are working against you, which somewhat mitigates the bay area benefits. Thus hard to predict.
Aloha.
Aloha!
Thanks for all the awesome info!! My Ohana and I are trying to find the best deal from Phoenix to Kona in the first part of June. We are watching the prices… do you see it dropping soon?
Mahalo for any info!
Hi Evette.
Thanks. There are fares of about $550 for departures through June 2 and returns through June 9. Later departures might happen, but as you can see here, that is getting to the end of lower fares. https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii-is-coming-soon/. Therefore not to much wiggle room on dates.
Aloha.
