Aloha.
We are currently searching fares from LAX to HNL for late July. I see the low @ $528/pp with restrictions. Will this be the best price for that time of year? Thank you!
Hi AJ.
We’re finding $450 RT for late July on multiple airlines. It could get a little better towards the actual date of travel, but that isn’t guaranteed, and that is already a savings of about $250 off normal summer fares.
Aloha.
We want to book flights from JFK to Honolulu on Oct 1-Oct 10 2020. The prices right now for those travel dates are over $2,000. I’ve never seen it that high. Do you know when those prices will go down?
Thank you!
Hi Jeanette.
On just checking, prices are $634 (1-stop) to $834 (nonstop). Might come down some, but since return is on a Saturday, not as much as mid-week. Best price is typically within 90 days of travel.
Aloha.
Hello!
Thank you for all the updates!
I am flying to OGG from Los Angeles area at the end of March 2020 on Sunday. The prices right now on Hawaiian Airlines for Main Cabin seats are coming to ~$500 which is an average expected cost. Do you think I should wait to see if the price drops in the new year or will it stay about the same?
Hi Michelle.
Spring break is the hardest to predict. Gut sense on that is that it might improve due to the competitive environment. That is so long as there is availability. Tough call.
Aloha.
Aloha,
I’m going with 3 friends to Kona in Mid July from Seattle. I’ve been watching the fares on Hawaiian. It’s been $750 to $780 going thru OGG. Is that the best fare to expect for July fares? Thank you so much for all the great info you supply!
Maholo
Hi Diane.
Yes that is pretty standard and there are no competitive pressures in that market.
Aloha.
Hello I also can not find any fares even close to theses noted above. I am looking at say – San Diego to Maui – January or February – all $400-600 no matter what day of the week during this time frame from best I can tell! Maybe these rates are for October or November perhaps?
But I am very grateful for the work you do!
Hi Wendy.
The fares are no longer available. Please check in right away next time we post a sale and we’ll always be glad to help find dates if you can’t.
Aloha.
Chad E.
I am a new subscriber and am wondering how to find the “unadvertised fares” because it takes me to the Hawaiian Airlines page. Thank you for your time.
Please advise
Hi Chad.
From there, use the monthly calendar to find the fares. They are not available as of today, but there will be more fare sales soon.
Aloha.
Hello,
my family of 5 ( maybe 6) are planning on travelling to Honolulu in Mid May.
WE live in Philadelphia but see that Boston has a good fare through May, and it would definitely be worth the time to drive there. However, I cannot find those fares ($349) on the website. Can you please help?
Also, do you think there would be better fares from Philadelphia if we wait?
Thank you very much,
Cathy
Hi Catherine.
You didn’t say what days you’re looking for so it is hard to help on both if you’re questions. There are many dates available.
Aloha.
We are flexible on dates, any time after May 15.
thank you again!,
Cathy
Hi Catherine.
Prices are up as of today so suggest checking again on Tuesday.
Aloha.
Mahalo for keeping watch on airfares for us. It is a nice service that you provide. I’m waiting patiently to see if prices will drop for May 2020. We’ll be flying from Oakland to Maui, and I’m watching fares for Hawaiian, Alaska, and Southwest and your site really helps my confidence for when I finally book our flights.
Really do appreciate you guys and all of the tips you provide for having the best time while traveling AND while on the islands.
Aloha!
Hi Debi.
Thanks so much!!
Aloha.
Hi I’m so happy I found your site! What is the weather generally like during the time frame of the deals (Jan-March) we were thinking of going to Honolulu or Kona.
Thank you!
Hi Brittany.
It is of course winter. But winter in Hawaii can be one of the most magical times and we’d recommend it.
The days are somewhat shorter, nights are cooler, temperatures are generally still close to 80. It may rain, but it may not.
Aloha.
Could you please tell me if there are ever deals on flights from Las Vegas to Honolulu?
Your help is truly appreciated!
Thank you
Hi June.
Starting at just over $300 with a stop en route or from low $400’s Nonstop.
Aloha.
Hello and thanks for your web page.
After reading all these years I have a request.
When there is a $139 flight from Oakland to Kona or Lihue or whatever
could you please name the date and time and flight number
of that particular deal? When I do a search there is nothing close
to that price. Granted that flight is probably already sold out
but it would save a lot of time not searching in vain.
Thank you very much.
Aloha
Hi David.
We have an alternate proposal. Please feel free to comment anytime we post something when you can’t find it. Let us know the dates (within the range we’ve indicated) that you’re looking for. We will try to help. Having said that, regarding today’s post, did you do a search using a month view so you could see the dates on which the sale fares were available. That’s really the only way to find deals easily.
It is problematic as well as very time consuming to list flight numbers and times. Also it is a very fast changing situation, with airline rates being updated five times daily.
Thanks for being a regular!
Aloha.
Thank you for your amazing site – both your information and the questions and answers are most helpful.
Just checking – I assume the low priced fares and nonrefundable and cannot be changed? I could not find this answer on the booking site.
I will be traveling in January from San Jose CA or San Francisco CA to Hilo and then Oahu an returning to SFO or San Jose, depending on fares. Do you think there will be any further lowering of fares or is this about as good as it will get?
Thanks so much.
Linda
Hi Linda.
Thank you. You’re correct there are generally no changes (that are affordable) and no cancellations. Southwest is the exception as you can make changes with just whatever difference in fare there may be. If you cancel you can apply that to a future flight.
If you’re flexible and traveling midweek you may find better prices ahead.
Aloha.
How likely is it do you think that Southwest will add San Diego flights tomorrow 26th? Thank you
Hi Cheryl.
There is a good chance.
Aloha.
Hi Looking PHX to LIH 6/20-6/26 any target prices you can recommend! Thanks
Colleen C
Hi Colleen.
That will be close to $1k. If you an leave Friday instead of Saturday you’ll lower airfare nearly $150. And midweek is better. Prices aren’t likely to improve by waiting and gut says Southwest won’t be on that route by then.
Aloha.
How do I find out the “Unadvertised Flights from Hawaiian airlines” dates? When I click on the link it takes me to the hawaiian airlines page.
Good evening! I’m hoping you could please advise on airfare rates from Milwaukee to Maui 2/6/20-2/15/20 for our elopement on the island. We are so excited and only have the flights left to take care of. I would greatly appreciate any insight on buying now or holding off a bit longer! Thanks! Love your site and email updates!
Hi Leanne.
Thank you. With only one stop and a quick connection, currently $683-$761 on multiple airlines. It probably won’t come down much if at all by waiting, unless you are open to 2-3 stops instead of 1, and a significantly longer duration.
Aloha.
Thank you so much for your prompt response. I think we will go ahead and book now while we still have a little flexibility with flight times. Appreciate your guidance! Mahalo!
Hi Leanne.
Glad that worked out. Thanks for letting us know.
Aloha.
Hello,
Thank you for all the incredible content you provide here. I’m a newcomer and have been reading lots of posts. I plan to bring my family of 4 for a July trip to Kauai. My understanding is that booking even now would be advisable? If you could please advise: For a July 2020 flight to LIH from say Chicago or Detroit, what would you consider a target airfare? I would book now, but I’m not sure if better fares are coming. And of course Southwest fares for summer won’t be available for a bit.
Thank you!
Mary
Hi Mary.
Thank you! 1-stop is now at $962 and 2-stop is $833. Multiple airlines, good connections, mid-week, from Chicago. Since Southwest will be two tickets to Hawaii, not sure they will be of help here. And no one plans to give summer tickets away cheap.
It isn’t likely that prices will improve by waiting.
Aloha.
Thank you for your helpful reply. I will get us booked asap. I did some more checking and found some very good deals out of Toronto. A 6 hour drive for us, but possibly worth it as the savings really add up!
Aloha!
I used your link then used the flight finder tool from Hawaiian, that shows the relative prices of fares. Disappointingly, none of the flights I saw (searched Phoenix to Maui after January) showed the deep discounts. The least expensive round trip I found was around $560. It may be that there are a very few of the ultra-cheap flights, and those just weren’t available when my family wanted to travel.
Hi Kiawe.
Thanks for being a commentor over the past years. The fares we listed are still available today. Most of February, later part of March, 2nd half of April and early May. Days of week vary but are limited to Sundays through Thursdays. It is definitely not a majority of dates but it is certainly available. The best deals require the most flexibility. We’ve had to change our routing and dates innumerable times to get those ourselves. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn’t, and then we pay up.
Aloha.
Aloha
I have been reading your blog for many, many years.
I live in Kilauea -about 20 yrs now
My son has a small farm in Plumas County California, and I help him sometimes 2 or 3 times a year…
So here’s the thing. I haven’t flown a mainland HA flight since about 2005!
Even when I go to LA, or NM sometimes, I check my HA App (agent before apps) and can never find a decent priced economy fare flight to connect to RNO!
I would love to fly on HA, instead of UA, AA, Alaska (remember ‘Sun’?!) because they treat you like cattle!
But HA seats never lure me with price, and Connecting to RNO (closest- 90 min.) is seemingly impossible as well.. Even trying to fly into SMK & beg my son to drive a whole extra hour to pick me up won’t solve the dilemma!
Please tell me what I’m missing, before SWA makes things complicated (maybe a solution, but When is still a Mystery) and help me see a way to fly a reasonable 1 stop, or even a quick 2 stop (HNL) to get here to 95971 or get home – like next month???
I’m about as flexible as an airline could dream, on day of travel. I almost always go T-Th flights, except it’s sometimes cheaper on Sunday with UA somehow.
And I’m open to getting a ticket home late next week all the way up to 10/1 when playoffs start 🙂
I know you don’t wanna be anybody’s travel agent, especially a poor guy like me from the N. shore, but I keep reading your blog, and somehow I’m still mystified how to break out of the last 10 legs on UA – they have to keep giving me vouchers ($100 on 8/16) cuz they always have all kina problems. I usually pay them like $250-$400 for a 10-12 hr tour 1 stop thru SFO. So it’s not like I’m finding $140 red-eyes. I’m too old for that anymore.
I’m so sick of them, but even spending an extra $50 for HA doesn’t seem to do the trick. It’s still crazy connections or way high like $500 one ways by the time I get a connecting flight to RNO.
Mahalo,
Anthony
(Not expecting u to keep posted, but didn’t wanna snail mail u)
Hi Anthony.
Thanks for sticking with us over the years!
Can’t disagree with you about the challenge of getting to/from Reno. It looks like Southwest may help with that, but as of today, it permits building that routing in one direction, but not both ways. Until then, United seems to be the best choice.
Aloha.
When you list the sale price as <>
does that mean that the sale price is only available in January (until the start of February) or does it mean that the sale price is available January AND February?
It would clarify your posts if you said either
<> or <>
Thanks
Hi Tim.
If we say January until February, it means you will find the fares shown on at least some days in those months. We typically aren’t specifying which days are available. If we ever post something you’re interested in, and you can’t find availability, please just reach out and we’ll do our best to clarify for your dates and route.
Aloha.
Hi
I got your email on 8-28 at 4pm about deals from hawaiian (lax to hilo)
followed your link at 6pm put in dates that were in the boundries you described but the fairs were not anywhere what you are sayin
its not 198 its 568
am I doing something wrong?
please advise
Hi Scott.
The $198 fare has dates in October and November. Outbound at this moment: October 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, November 6, 13, 14.
Aloha.
This is real interesting. U can fly from San Jose to Honolulu for $139. They want $103-$150 to go from Maui to Kauai. There are NO other choices till after Jan 2020. We want to travel 12-22 one way after staying in Maui for 2 weeks. Thanks for ALL the info on Hawaii, we go 1-2 times a year
Hi John.
True that. It’s nothing to do with distance, but mostly about competition.
Aloha.
Hi. So glad I found this site! Looking to fly round trip April 4tj 2020 through April 12th from San Jose, CA to
Maui. Fares are currently $683 round trip on Hawaiian Air, I know this is popular Easter week, wondering if I should book or if they will go lower?
Just booked a RT on Hawaiian from LAX to Maui at $358.
If I’m looking to spend 7-8 nights in Maui anytime in October or early November. Would prefer to fly out of LAX, but any west coast city would be fine for my purposes.
Should I keep the booked Hawaiian flight at $358 RT? Or hold out for a better deal?
Thanks. Love the site.
Hi Steve.
Thank you! Hard to call. When SW announces more flights later this month, there should be stimulation of better pricing from the west coast. So you could improve it some by waiting, but then by how much and is it worth it to wait. Our two cents is perhaps to keep what you have.
Aloha.
Thank you so much!! I have been checking very regularly and just booked SFO to OGG after reading this yesterday. $318 RT Woohoo!! Just need a bargain 2 bedroomed condo now!!
Hi Amanda.
Glad that worked out!
Aloha.
Hello.
I remember reading in an earlier newsletter about reef friendly sunscreen. I thought I had saved the newsletter but cannon locate it. Would you be so kind as to send the list of recommended sun screens as we are going to Hawaii in about three weeks and want to purchase something that works and is friendly to the environment.
Thank you so much!
Susan
Hi Susan.
The article is here: https://beatofhawaii.com/hawaiian-sunscreen-safety-updates/
Aloha.
Hey BoH!
I appreciate everything you guys do!
Just wanted to throw it out there that HA prices from LAX to HNL at $179 one way are available through January-February at the moment. I noticed the prices for the last week of Jan and first week of Feb when I was looking at travel dates.
I imagine that prices MIGHT drop lower for that time frame with SW getting ready to announce their rates in the next week but who knows! Just wanted to share in case anyone is looking!
Hi Staci.
Thank you.
Aloha.
Could please use some help. Looking to travel Nov 23rd-30th from PDX to LIH for our timeshare. Prices are sky high. We are a large group of 10 going and some of us are going early for cheaper flights. But not all can. Any hope they will drop below $1000 without having over 15hrs of travel time? Please please please and thank you.
Hi Randy.
Those dates are about a high season as you can get. Becoming sold out is more likely than the price dropping. Nonstop is nearly $1500.
Aloha.
Greetings
Last year we bought ridiculously low tickets ($150 – one way ) at the last minute from Seattle to Maui in October
I haven’t seen those low prices yet
Please do you have any advice on when they might show up or when to buy
Your advice is much appreciated
Been following you for a long time and love your counsel to others
Hi Paul.
Thank you! Not sure you’ll see $150 each way. Looks like it will be slightly more, perhaps $180-$190. Competition is just not as active in that market at the moment. It could change, but it doesn’t seem likely.
Aloha.
Family of 4 looking to fly to HNL Oct 11, return Oct 18. We are in Southern Oregon, closest small airport is MFR, otherwise we are looking at 4-5 hours to RNO, PDX or SMF. I’ve been holding out, hoping southwest would drive the prices lower. Right now the best rate I’m seeing is around $435 from RNO, SMF is hovering around $700….eek. Should we just go ahead and book? Or should we hold out for lower?
Hi Erin.
Southwest won’t help Oregon flights but could help SMF. There is a $496 RT fare from Medford right now on United, on your dates and route, if that works for you. A great price from that airport.
Love this website.
Hi Nelida.
We love our visitors!
Aloha.
Aloha! Do you have any tips for finding F class deal Maui to the west coast?
Mahalo!
Hi Carolann.
Can you please give us your dates and city pairs and we’ll see what we can find. Otherwise, no special tips. Mileage upgrades, if you have miles, or credit card offers. Otherwise, just looking for the best fare is all we can offer.
Aloha.
Hello,
I’m looking to fly from Orlando to Maui between dates of 3/11/20 – 3/31/20.
Would you recommend perhaps taking a flight with one airline from the East coast Then another from the West coast to Maui. I will have only a carry on. Thanks
Richard C.
Hi Richard.
Certainly can do that. But, for example, what happens if your first flight is delayed. We recently had a 4 hour delay flying from east coast to Hawaii via a stop on west coast. If it hadn’t been on one ticket, we would have missed flight from west coast to Hawaii and been out of luck.
Aloha.
Hi! Do you think the Prices will drop anymore for an October GSP TO Maui and a Honolulu to GSP? I’ve been waiting for the 3 month window and not much change. And would we save much going out of Atlanta instead?
Thank you!
Hi Meredith.
About $775 with good connection and only 1-stop. Probably won’t improve and could go up by as much as $100. ATL is $600 on same basis.
Aloha.
I don’t see any deals as presented here on their website. Sept. 27 – Oct 11, SMF to LIH. Price calendar shows no discounted pricing. Maybe it’s me?
Aloha!
I love your site and all the valuable and interesting info you provide. I have a question about inter-island fares.
We will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in your beautiful islands in December. We will be staying on four islands – Lanai, Maui, Kauai, and Oahu. It is the honeymoon we never had! I have already booked the ferry (Dec. 18) to take us from Lanai to Maui. Please, can you tell me the best time to book flights from Maui to Kauai (Dec. 21) and from Kauai to Oahu (Dec. 28)? Is Hawaiian Airlines the carrier I should be looking at?
Mahalo,
Sue
Hi Sue.
You should book those right now to get the flights and seats you want. There is only Hawaiian Airlines flying those routes.
Aloha.
Are there ever deals listed out of Orlando or near on East coast? I DO love all your articles.
Hi Cat.
Yes there are. There are fares from Orlando to Honolulu starting in low $400’s starting in August. We don’t usually report on them as we have very little demand from our visitors for that route. But always feel free to post a comment for whatever you are looking for (city pairs and dates) and we will be happy to try to help find the best deals.
Aloha.
Thank you for your wonderful information. I enjoy seeing the questions and your replies that are so informative.
I am looking to fly from San Jose or San Francisco CA to Hilo, then to Honolulu and back to San Jose or SFO in early January. (3 people for about 2 weeks)
I was wondering if this would be a good time to book, or whether you think fares might go lower. Is San Jose or San Francisco better as far as fares?
Thank you again.
Hi Linda.
It doesn’t seem that fares to Hilo will improve beyond this. On the other hand, they probably won’t get worse either. So you can probably do it whichever way works best for you, now or somewhat later in summer/early fall.
Aloha.
What is the best and lowest way to book LIT in mid-September to HNL returning to Lit around October 23rd? Dates are semi-flexible
Traveling DFW to Hawaii in 2020 for our 25th wedding anniversary.
We just finished booking our rooms in Hawaii. 4/3-10/2020 on Lahaina Maui and 4/10-16/2020 on the Big Island. What advice do you have regarding who, what and how to book our airline reservations.
Thank you so much,
Bill M.
Hi Bill.
Your outbound flight is scheduled on the most prime of spring break travel days. That looks like it will stay expensive and probably should be bought sooner than later. Suggest buying inter-island soon as well. The return from the Big Island, however, is in low season, and that isn’t a critical purchase. Price with good connection on outbound leg is $500, return is towards high $300’s and that segment could drop by $100 if you wait.
Aloha.
Hi!
Been following for a while and wanted to inquire what you think about flights end of November. Flexible on dates, but ideally 23/24- Dec. 3/4th. We are looking to go for around 9-10 days out of either Fort Lauderdale or Miami to Oahu or Kauai. The prices I’ve been seeing have fluctuated but seem to be steady around $870. Can I expect prices to get lower or is that typically their pricing around those times? Thanks so much for any advice!
Hi Ana.
Those dates aren’t going to work since you are starting on Thanksgiving weekend. Probably would need to wait until middle of following week for best prices. You should then see fares in the $650 range with one stop and good connections. Those could start to pop up anytime from now until early fall.
Aloha.
Hi. We are going to Kona Jan 9-23 from Seattle via Alaska airlines. When would the best time to purchase be?
Thanks
Mary
Hi Mary.
For mid-week travel, low $400’s is target price, and weekends at least $100 more. So keep an eye out. Perhaps within next two months.
Aloha.
Thank you so much for this wonderful resource! We’re looking to visit the Big Island, traveling from Portland sometime in January/February. I noticed some fares in late January for about $550 round trip. Would it be worth waiting to see if there are better deals in the future, or is that about the best we can expect?
Hi Isaac.
Thank you. We’re seeing $508 nonstop for mid-week travel in January and February. And about $60 less including weekend for 1-stop. Not sure those will improve.
Aloha.
