Please direct us in looking for a flight for 7 from LAX to Kona from approximately 8/4/16 – 8/15/16. When should we book and what kind of pricing should we expect?
Thank you, Shirley
Hi Shirley,
Best advice on timing is found here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/. Target price is mid to high $500’s.
Aloha.
Wow, thanks for posting all the great deals. Any chance Minneapolis may have some good deals coming up? Thanks for any advice you may have…..
Hi Kari,
There are quite a few days with a $605 fare to Honolulu on Alaska Airlines in April and May if that helps.
Aloha.
Are there any Groupon type sites for Maui? I see some Groupon offerings for Oahu but not much for Maui. Thanks
Hi Mike,
Not as far as we know. In the current economy and with Hawaii travel in particular things like that have lost most appeal to vendors. There is generally little need for deeply discounted third party distribution.
Aloha.
My generous sister has offered a condo on Maui from May 28th to June 4th to my family.
I had a few questions since we have never traveled to but want to visit Hawaii during this time.
1) We live in Kentucky and what is the best city to fly out of to Hawaii from Kentucky during this time period? – we live about 6 hours from Chicago and 2 hours from Cincinnati.
2) When should we purchase airline tickets for best deal?
3) I love history and would love to visit Honolulu/Pearl Harbor so we would consider ‘island hopping’ and staying a few days there to see some history. How long should be allotted to get a good visit to Pearl Harbor? What is best way to island hop?
4) Should we fly into and out of Maui and hop to Honolulu or vice versa?
Thanks so much in advance for your expert opinion.

Hi EJ,
With good connections from Cincinnati that’s running just under $1,100 on American. Chicago is just over $900 on Virgin. These may get better but may not. Issue is Saturday travel which is generally premium priced. If you’re okay with terrible connections – 20+ hours or nearly double the best connections, then there are some lower prices. But again Saturdays will prevent the best deals. As an example, there are $604 fares from Cincinnati early in May and those could extend to later in May. But that is a 25 hour trip and it won’t be on Saturdays. Hope that helps.
On your other questions, we always suggest the high acclaimed guidebook series (online or in print) Hawaii Revealed.
Do keep in mind that inter-island flights tend to be expensive and the best times of day can be more expensive or lack availability. Book that well in advance.
Aloha.
Thanks so much for your advice.
Have a Blessed Easter,
E J
Aloha! WOW what a great website of information!
Our travel is 9/8-9/14 from SAN to HNL. And the rates are okay…should we wait to book our flights for a better price?
Many thanks!
Hi Lisa.
Mahalo! Not great rates on that route any longer. So currently $500 on nonstop and best hope target is probably $430. Having said that there is absolutely no harm in waiting and playing it out as availability will not be an issue.
Aloha.
Aloha! Looking for flights for 7 leaving SF bay area to OGG on 7/23 and returning 7/30. Flights are $700+ right now….what are your thoughts on it possibly coming down soon?
Mahalo!
Hi Pam,
Virgin America is $654 on your dates which is a very good price. If you can fly on 24th and 29th, price is $600. Doubtful it will come down for Saturday flights.
Aloha.
Hello,
I am looking to surprise my partner with his first trip to Maui in November (11/5-11/12). See a current rate of approximately $680 pp on Hawaiian. Would you please tell me if you believe that is a fair price, should I wait to book? Our flight will be from LAX.
Mahalo,
Debbie
Hi Debbie,
For that route you should wait. Target price is $400’s.
Aloha.
Love your site and all the helpful information, thank you!
Can you please let me know what we should expect to pay for round trip tickets leaving June 16 from Lax or San Diego to Oahu returning 6/29?
Thank you,
Dawn
Hi Dawn.
Thank you! Currently $685 on Hawaiian Airlines or Alaska Airlines nonstop from SAN. Anything under $700 is good for your dates.
If you want to wait until Virgin America starts their LA flights then flights from LA might come down some as well.
Aloha.
Hello….I am looking to Island hope.
I will be flying out of Atlanta to Maui and from Maui to Oahu the last week of May to the first week in June…..will the price get any better than $1100.00.
Thanks you for any information you can share.
Johnny
Hi Johnny,
Not sure what you’re asking. If it’s price ATL-OGG and HNL-ATL then about $966 on United with good connection is best price. Plus inter-island. Might improve somewhat if you wait. There are $666 fares earlier in May that might be extended. But they are on Alaska which takes 6 hours longer than on United.
Aloha.
Thanks so much…..you answered my question perfectly….it was about price.
I just want to make the best and most economical choice, I do not want to buy too soon or too late….thanks for the feedback.
Johnny
Aloha!
Do you think prices will go down for July travel from San Francisco to Honolulu? Prices seem to have been stagnant for several weeks! I know it is a popular time to fly!
Thanks so much for your insight!
Hi Stacy.
They are currently $569 for July which is at least $150 less than normal. That’s as good as you can expect and it is doubtful it will improve.
Aloha.
Are prices for other travel times expected to go lower from DTW to OGG? We have accommodations booked for Oct. 8-18th and the flight costs have skyrocketed lately. Just wondering whether we should be patient? I don’t want to panic purchase.
Hi Bethany,
It is way too early for fall at this point. There’s no rush and there will be no shortage of inventory in October. Only present deals are on Alaska at $613, but they have a very long layover.
Aloha.
Do you expect to see any more LA to Maui deals for May?
Hi Tony,
Yes for mid to late May we do.
Aloha.
This looks encouraging for we Portlanders, but are you still thinking the PDX/HNL route won’t get any better for early December travel? Currently holding at $485 for Dec 4-11. Would you advise waiting? Thanks very much.
Hi Dave,
Yes slightly encouraging given that PDX has really been expensive of late. If you prefer to wait there may be some wiggle room – say down to closer to $400.
Aloha.
