Awaiting booking flight from Hilo to Sacramento 5/29-6/3. Lowest fare currently at $900. Are fares on Hawaiian Airlines expected to continue to rise or drop?
Trip planned from Portland, OR to Kauai 7/7/18 to 7/13/18. Ticket prices on Hawaiian airlines went up. Were at $742 a week ago. Any chance they will go down again? There are four of us.
My wife and I are flying LAX to LIH 10/16/18 returning 10/23/18 (celebrating our 55th!) Is it best to wait until a couple of months before travel to purchase tickets or work with a target price? Or a combination of the two… Uncertain as to which way to handle. Thank you very much for your help!
Hi Phil.
Target price could be as low as about $350 RT. That’s what they have been for spring on Hawaiian nonstop. Do wait for your mid-week, off-season dates. Availability should not be a problem.
Aloha.
looking to take family of 5 plus 1 year old from Minneapolis. promised to take to hawaii. Island I guess doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter month. Would guess like to get out of winters here. Looking for 1 week. Question when I should start looking for airfare and is it possible to go mid week to mid week and get airbnb or timeshare if midweek.
Hi,
We have a hotel booked for Maui May 25 – June 1, which is great, but over Memorial Day weekend, so the flights are super expensive. My parents are flying OAK – OGG, while my husband, 2 children, and I are flying from DEN. I’m getting really nervous about finding flights. Should we book separate tickets to get to OAK and fly to OGG from there, or will it be better for us to fly direct DEN-OGG? At this point, what’s our best bet for finding the best deals?
Thank you!
Hi Rachel.
$663 on United with fast connection. Not a terrible price, but not great either. For your dates, prices are equally likely to 1) stay the same or 2) go down somewhat. Issue, as you indicated, is Memorial Day weekend and your Friday travel days. Flying just from the bay area will be nearly $500, so no savings to be found there.
Aloha
We will be flying mid september 2018. When will be the best rate for round trip fares from lax to honalulu? we will be flying from charlotte nc. to lax. Thank you. Bill
Hi Bill.
That’s all contained here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/. In a nutshell, over next couple of months with target price in low $400’s.
Aloha.
Hello Hawaii! Traveling round trip between Omaha and Maui, November 14 – 22. What target price should I realistically expect?
Please let me know when I should purchase my airline tickets. I’ll be traveling from San Diego to Kauai either August 8th or 9th, and which airline will have the best deal.
Thanks,
Gigi
Hi Gigi.
Are you referring to the current United Airlines deal: https://beatofhawaii.com/united-hawaii-summer-sale/? Both of your listed departure dates are available at the $362RT price.
Aloha.
I’m not sure, but I think Gigi of San Diego is my sister! I mean, what are the chances? Anyway, I see a flight from LAX to Lihue on August 8 returning on the 16th for $649.60. With your knowledge and experience, do you think that flight will be coming down, or should I book this? Thank you for a wonderful website, and for your help! Love you guys!!
Hi Claudia.
Thank you!! We’d suggest waiting with a target price of under $500. Might happen in next month or two.
Aloha.
Wow, that’s amazing! BTW, the airline I was quoting rates on is Hawaiian. Again, thank you for this fantastic site, and for reporting about the flooding. Hoping my little slice of heaven heals quickly! Mahalo!
Hello. I’m looking to travel to Honolulu from LA anytime between July 30-August 15. I’m looking to stay max 4 days. I’m pretty flexible with the dates. How much would it be roundtrip? And do you expect the prices to lower any time? They’re around $500-$600 currently round trip.
Love your site👍great info
Looking to travel Reno to Maui in October for a week with a 4 day stop in Kauai at the end. Is it best to book round trip Maui and add the side trip or? Also best time to book for October travel? Thank for your help 🙏
Hi Gretchen.
Most of the fares will let you book each segment separately. Into Maui and out of Kauai. That will definitely save you time and perhaps money as well. Target price is $475. Not available yet, but perhaps in next few months. No rush – especially for mid-week travel.
Aloha.
Any specials from Vancouver Canada?

Hello!
Are there ever any deals on flights from SJC during June, July or early August to either Maui (OGG) or Kauai (LIH), or am I dreaming?! Currently around $600-750.
Thank you!!
Hi Maya,
There are some $582 to $597 RT fares on Hawaiian in 2nd half of June to OGG and $597 RT to Kauai in July. That’s excellent for summer. Typical is $700+.
Aloha.
Thank you!
Hi! I’m so excited to find this site. I’m planning a vacation for my family, including my parents, from San Francisco to Oahu (or Kauai), sometime between August – December. Is it better to book now or will airfare prices fall at some point? Thanks for your advice!
Hi Kathy.
There will be good fares coming up for late summer to early December (except over Thanksgiving). We’ll be publishing them as soon as they are out. In the next few months. Don’t worry – it will happen.
Aloha.
Do you have any flights from Dallas Fort Worth or Dallas Love Field to Honolulu anytime in July?
I’m looking for the same thing. Looks like a no. So expensive from Dallas!!
Hello! Looking for flights from Lax to Hnl end of May to early June. Currently about $575 roundtrip. Do you anticipate prices going up or down?
Thank you!
Hi Sheri.
Likely to come down for mid-week travel completed by first week of June. Target price in low $400’s.
Aloha.
Do you ever publish deals from Australia to,Honolulu
E.g ..Jetstar Melbourne and or Sydney to Honolulu
..Qantas ..Sydney to Honolulu
..H.A from Sydney or Brisbane to Honolulu …
Ian ..
What a wonderful site. Not sure how you found us, but thank you. We have never been to Hawaii and will be retiring in the next two months. we hope to make the trip sometime in 2019. What is the most reasonable time to go – expense wise?
Hi Patricia.
Thanks. We’ve wrapped up answers to your question here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/. So please have a look there. Generally, spring and fall.
Aloha.
Why can’t I find the fare calendar? I don’t have a date. Want to check for the lowest fare. From Phoenix to Hilo. Thanks
Hi Debby.
Once you navigate to the Hawaiian Air site, and put in the city pair and departure date, there is a link below that says “price calendar.”
Aloha.
I love hearing about all the travel deals to my favorite place on earth but would love it if more Canadian options were listed. I’m in Winnipeg (right smack in the middle of the country) and never see anything from here. Any chance of adding in a few more Canadian spots or even North Dakota or Minnesota deals?
Hi Moira.
We do try to add Canadian deals when we find them.
Aloha.
When I press the site on the Puka sale, it just returns to the Beat of Hawaii page (where I just clicked). Have tried several times, including right clicking to send to another tab. Use you info often and appreciate it! Never had this problem before.
Hi Ruth.
Not sure what was happening. We tried it as well and everything worked correctly. Sorry about that.
Aloha.
i click on the city i’m interested in booking a flight to kona from sea and it will not respond … is something wrong with the coding?
thanks … darlene
Hi Darlene.
We are clicking and it is going to the airline site without an issue.
Aloha.
that is not happening here on my laptop .. i cannot get these fares when i go to the airline site … what’s up???
darlene
Traveling to Kona for Christmas 2018. Very flexible on early December arrival and planning to stay until after Christmas. Have place to stay so no worries there. When should I start looking for best fare from SMF? What should I know about last minute bookings?
Mahalo!
PS just got back from Hawai’i and had Mac butter.. oh my… will probably never go back to peanut butter again and the recipe to make Mac butter looks easy!
Hi Carmen.
After first week in December it is going to be quite costly. If you’re willing to spend a very long time getting there it might be in the $800 range (leaving by 12/14 and coming back after 1/5 or so), otherwise $1,000+. Doubtful it will improve. BTW, if you fly on 12/24 or 12/25 it is slightly better but not much.
As is normal, holidays are booking up fast and it looks like it will get sold out.
Aloha.
The links for the PUKA cities do not seem to go anyplace? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Martin
Hi Martin.
The links lead to the airline’s website. Please enter your cities and use flexible date search to find offer.
Aloha.
Hi,
When do you think would be the best time to book a flight from PHL to HNL for the end of Aug. 2018. trip?
Thanks!
Sarin
Hi Sarin.
Currently starting just over $700. Prices might drop by about $100 over next 3 months or so.
Aloha.
I’m looking to fly from Sacramento, Oakland or sfo whichever will be cheapest but Sacramento is the most convenient
Headed to Kauai
Not sure when is best to book, looking for advice
We are leaving Saturday Nov.17 and returning on thanksgiving day
Thanks in advance
Hi Doug.
About $900 for your dates unless you want a puddle-skipping 20 hour routing in which case you might save a couple of hundred. Played with nearby dates and you can save as follows. Fly Monday to Monday and fare is $659 nonstop on Hawaiian. Doubtful these will improve and suggest buying now.
Aloha.
Today, SAN to KOA for $199 each way on Alaska. Booked for middle May!
Sorry, but I don’t see the “deal” from Phoenix for $249.
Why is it that I click on the deal and it directs me to the reservation site and does not give me the “Deal” price within the dates the said deal is offered? How does one get the deal?
Thank you.
Thank you Marcia!
Aloha.
I have just begun using your site. I am looking for flights for two seniors from RDU to Honolulu on Oct. 8, 2018, then Oct. 11 to Hilo and then Kona to RDU on Oct. 25. The dates are somewhat flexible.
Thank you in advance,
Marcia
Hi Marcia.
Looks like range of prices will be from mid $500’s with long layover to $700’s with much shorter duration. Plus inter-island. Stay with mid week. You can start looking now (and you’ll find those prices), although it could get slight better over next few months.
Aloha.
Hello,
I am not sure what happened to my previous question but I can not find it or a response from you. I am planning a trip from Denver to Kauai for January 5-12 2019. I was wondering if I should buy when the window opens (just opened in the past two weeks) but prices are $850 right now.
Thanks in advance!
John
Hi John.
If you must depart on 1/5 then you’re going to pay perhaps a $100-$200 premium for that day compared with surrounding days. Doubtful that day will come down and availability on 1/5 might be an issue. Otherwise, generally better to wait with target below $550. But that will require day of week flexibility.
Aloha.
I am sure you guys saw it but American launched a sale today. $635 RT from Denver to LIH from 1/5-1/12. Good flight times and a good price! Snagged 4! Thanks for all you do!
Hi John.
There have even been fares as low as $500 for this spring. Nonstop is still very expensive generally.
Aloha.
Aloha,
First off, thank you for taking the time out to inform us of all the wonderful deals. I have used your site in the pass to book 2 family vacations to Hawaii so far. I am looking into booking May 24-May 31 from OAK to HNL.We can also leave OAK on May 25-28th as well. Looking to stay for 1 week for a family of 6. Should I book now or wait a bit longer?
Mahalo,
Stace
Hi Stace.
Issue of course is you are traveling over Memorial Day weekend. Currently not priced very aggressively and not sure it will be. Suggest you try waiting since you appear flexible on specific dates. Alternatively if you are more comfortable buying now, at about $550 over a holiday, that isn’t really too bad.
Aloha
Hi Deal Makers..I m a senior..live on Kaua’i and travel very little…BUT that will be changing..I am expecting a GRANDDAUGHTER in LA in July 2018…so please…HELP getting to LA or OC b4 June 24th baby shower..birth..and???? Mahalo Nui Loa in advance!!
Hi Mer.
Thanks for the comment and always great to hear from you. Congratulations too.
You present a problem that’s undoubtedly helpful to all of us. That is, what options exist when Hawaii airfare prices are so high. We’re going to share your situation with other visitors.
In your case, LA is going to start at $707 RT for peak summer travel. That pricing is as expected for your dates. It probably won’t improve and availability at the end of June can become a problem.
If saving money is the ultimate goal, you’ll need to do one of two things differently
1. Fly round trip to San Diego for $569. That’s nonstop for Lihue on Alaska.
2. Puddle skip to Hawaii on American or United to San Diego for as little as $481 or to LA from $563. That will include one or two stops along the west coast. It will also double the duration with extra flights and waiting time. For testing purposes, we used 6/20 – 6/26 as your travel dates. Other dates are available at similar prices.
Aloha.
Hello
Thank you for always listing these great deals. I always follow closely as we go to Maui yearly.
Our next trip is August 5-17 from either Pdx or sea to ogg
I can’t seem to find any good deals
Is it the wrong tome of year?
Or do you think these deals will extend to these august dates?
The price seems to be increasing 😭
Hi Ginger.
8/5 is still going to be expensive as it is high season, unless something changes. 8/17 is definitely low season. We switch to low season about 8/14. If you can change dates you’ll do better price-wise, and in that case do wait a bit. Otherwise, hard to predict and may not improve.
Aloha.
Opinion on the cheapest tickets for first class from any west coast city? Traveling from east coast so flexible on city to fly out of from west coast to Honolulu – would like to be in Honolulu from 6/19-6/28, but have flexible dates. Thank you much!
Hi Lynda.
San Jose and Oakland are both in the $1,100’s RT. Then LAX at about $100+ more. Good prices.
Aloha.
We are looking for reasonable fares from LAX to HNL traveling either 6/17 or first flight out on 6/18 returning 6/24 or 6/25.
Current fares are high $700’s or Low $800’s RT. When will sale priced (if any) for Late June be announced and do you know when SWA will announce their dates for travel on Hawaii routes?
Thank you for your expertise and assistance.
Hi Gail.
Definitely no SWA for your dates. Fares are as expected for high season and highly unlikely they will improve. Availability could be an issue in terms of air, accommodations and car, so suggest getting that nailed down ASAP. It is going to be a very busy summer in Hawaii.
Aloha.
Thank you for the great site and information regarding holiday travel.
I am looking for advice on flying from LAX to HNL with a departure date of 12/25/2018 and a return date of 01/01/2018.
I chose the specific dates based on research that states those two days are generally cheaper to fly on and we have no issues with traveling on two holidays.
Right now, round-trip flights on most airlines appear to be >$1000 which is beyond my budget as I was hoping for a round trip flight in the $400-600 range.
Should I just wait until Summer to begin looking for deals or is there any specific secret to trying to score a decent price prior to summer for holiday travel? I have no airline preference and I need to get 4-8 tickets depending on the family members that will be going.
If needed, I could move my travel 2-3 days in either direction, assuming I am in Hawaii for at least a week spending most of my time comparing the various best shaved ice shacks 🙂
Hi Steve.
$757 RT on your dates nonstop on Delta. Fair price. Could improve by up to $100. If so, might happen in last 90 days and more likely in last 30. Problem is that by then everything in Hawaii will be sold out (car and accommodation).
Aloha.
I love getting the updates, but I never find the deals you guys do. We are traveling with a family of 10 leaving the Bay Area 6-7 into HNL and returning 6-13. We have a rate of 598pp rt right now. Should we take the deal or wait for one of these better deals?
Hi Chris.
Most of June and all of July are not included in the sale airfares. About $550 on multiple carriers for your dates from SJC or SFO. Probably won’t improve.
Aloha.
