I am planning a Hawaii trip for my wife and myself for first of November.
Which airline should I be looking at, and what kind of price do you think tickets will be out of PDX? Probably either Kauai or big island, when should I buy tickets? You guys are great for all your help, thank you. If you could please help.

Hi Tom.
Happy to help. No rush for your dates and route. First, best to wait and see if new routes are announced. That is likely. If no new routes, wait anyway until mid summer or so. You’ll likely be pleasantly surprised.
Aloha.

Which airline provides the cheapest rates from denver to honolulu flights?

When is the best time to book flights from Denver to Maui for June 2, 2018?

Aloha all,
Was wondering if anyone knows if there will ever be service to Hawaii from Burbank. I know that Aloha used to fly out of BUR, but obviously no longer…Is there any chatter about Delta or Southwest starting service from BUR? That would rock my world as LAX is a major cluster#($*@.
Mahalo!

Hi Catherine.
We do not expect anyone to provide service to Hawaii from Burbank. Sorry.
Aloha.

Hello,
I was wondering what would be the best airline to fly from San Antonio, TX to Honolulu. We are taking a Hawaiian cruise in August 2018.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Yvonne.
American Airlines looks to be the best bet. There are $729 RT airfares which is a great price.
Aloha.

I need to book air from OGG to BOS May 5, 2018. Any suggestion on how long to wait before booking? I am seeing flights running $412+. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Dave.
Best off season fares in that market are generally low $700’s RT. Right now that is priced in mid-$700’s which isn’t bad. So either waiting or booking – bird in hand or one in the bush. Since you can only book 330 days out, much of May isn’t available yet.
Aloha.

I can’t wait until Southwest starts flights to Hawaii. They have great prices and excellent customer service.

Hawaiian Airlines is the only way to fly to Hawaii. A great airline!

Yep I agree. Your on vacation as soon as you are onboard.

I totally disagree! I had Hawaiian Miles but they refused to allow me to use a combination of miles and dollars as do Southwest and Delta. I needed a group rate for 9 tickets and they said I needed ten. But the worst of all….Hawaiian only allows 7 reservations to be made at one time and I had 9. I got 6 tickets, pushed confirm for the price and went immediately back to reserve the next 3 tickets. In that two minutes, the price went up $90 per ticket, so I had to pay $270 more dollars in two minutes time. I contacted customer service and they more or less told me “too bad.” Not even the manager would do anything to help with the price. I think they have horrible policies and customer service. They ended up offering me $200.00 per ticket, by the name on the ticket and made the ending date be during school time (for grandchildren) within ten months of the travel I paid for. Not even useable. My kids can’t afford the tickets for themselves and their kids and why would they even consider going less than a year after the trip I’m paying for?

I agree with the last comment. My belief is United sales decreased due to all this publicly on people being dragged off the plane for not giving up seats they paid for. I will stick with Alaska airlines.

You too can fly on United and make your 15 minutes of fame when they drag you off the plane for refusing to give up the seat you paid good money for. No thank you. I will fly Hawaiian.

I won’t fly United Airlines either.
Hawaiian Airlines has my business period!!!

Most folks are going to fly the airline with the lowest price save for the frequent flier types. United has been through much worse than the passenger incident. However, United has reduced over bookings and increased compensation for giving up one’s seat. Live and learn and do better!
