The new year has begun with a week of excellent Hawaii deals (many of which are still available). There have also been a number of interesting Hawaii travel industry news updates.
Competition aided by low fuel prices, new carriers and upcoming fleet changes will keep many 2016 Hawaii airfare prices at or below expected levels. High season (summer and Christmas) holidays are probably the only exception and even those may get some relief.

We are traveling to Maui in July 2016 from NYC area. A few months ago saw one airline briefly under $1000 but since then best fare about $1050. Should we wait another few months to see if fares come down or is this as good as it will get? Thank you!
Hi Gary,
Yes, about $1050 with best connections. In the $900’s with long connections. Doubtful that will come down for July.
