  1. Excellent advice on best travel dates and periods that bears repeating. Date flexibility makes your vacation so much more affordable. Plus May and Sept have fabulous weather!

  2. We are looking to bring our kids and grandkids to meet family in Hawaii. We would be traveling from ROC and RDU. We are excited to show them where Tutu grew up. We were thinking of spending time on the Big Island and Oahu, where most of the family lives. Any suggestions for family friendly accommodations and best times to fly? Mahalo for your help.

  3. We are interested in traveling from Rochester, NY to the Big Island and to visit family on Oahu in 2018. We heard fares will be cheaper because of Southwest starting routes to Hawaii. When should we look to book a flight?

  4. We are traveling from Pdx to ogg August 6-17
    Airfare is still around. $700!!
    Yikes!
    Any ideas if this may drop?
    Thank you!

    1. Hi Ginger.

      Should come down somewhat. But there are unknown variables like new HA flights and SWA. August 6 is definitely high season. 17th is not. Suggest waiting, if you’re comfortable doing so. Target price is in $500’s, but we can’t promise that will happen.

      Aloha.

  5. Mahalo!
    We are traveling to Kauai Aug 1st thru 10th from Phoenix, AZ. Could you please advise what is the lowest fare and shortest time in transit, carrier for these dates? Should we wait to hear if Southwest is going to fly to Hawaii from Phx? Our kids are meeting us there and they are flying in from San Diego. We are trying to coordinate flights so we get there around the same time as we will be sharing a rental car…give or take a couple hours. Thanks so much in advance!

    1. Hi Mary.

      Currently just over $700 and nonstop is on American. New flights may be added and it is at least a possibility that SWA could be here. These are variables no one knows answers to at the moment. You can choose to wait and see, in which case we may know more between now and say May. Availability isn’t likely to be a problem, but we can’t say that definitively either.

      Aloha.

  6. 4 of us will be arriving in Oahu May 28.First time to Hawaii and so excited!!! Where is the best place to rent a car in Oahu? Thanks in advance.

  7. We are (2) travelling (5th trip)to Oahu 6 to 20 May 2018.

    I am very much interested in the lower airfares, but have yet to see them via carrier websites (american, Delta of Hawaiian), even for travel dates in Feb 2018.

    If such fares are unpublished, are they only avail via telephone with a ticketing agent? Our origin cities are Boston MA and Orlando FL.

    Please advise as we must decide on air travel soon. MAHALO, Walter B

    1. Hi Walter.

      All fares we publish are available for on-line purchase only via the airlines or online travel agencies. $845 RT for your dates with good connection. If you can go and return one day later you’ll save about $110. $700 will be about as cheap as it will get under any circumstances.

      Aloha.
