What has been the cheapest time to fly to Maui from SFO, OAK or SJC (with good weather of course!)
Mahalo!!
Hi Vivian,
This post: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/ is all about that. We prefer fall and late spring and both have good weather (as far as weather is predictable).
Aloha.
Hello, I’m so glad to have found your site! I have a family of 5 travelling from Seattle to OGG Nov 4 through Nov 12. How far in advance should I be looking for maximum savings?
Mahalo!
Hi Chris,
Seattle isn’t as competitive right now as we see at times. Your Saturday return is costing about $50 extra and your Friday departure isn’t helping either. So if you plan to stay on those days it is going to cost nearly $600 and may well not improve. If you can travel mid-week, currently it is about $530 and we expect it to drop back into the mid to high $400 soon. Hope that helps.
Aloha
Hi there!
Your website is great! Thanks for sharing with us!
I’m looking into Mid October trip from Seattle to HNL and OGG. In your opinion, should I bite into the current deals now or should I wait for better deals since I still got time? thanks a bunch!!!
Hi Joy.
Thank you. About $475 RT right now. Gut feeling is that you might improve somewhat by waiting due to those being quite competitive markets. Target savings of $50-$75. If that isn’t worth the hassle, then buying now is still good value.
Aloha.
I am trying to find a reasonable ticket from Little Rock, Arkansas or Memphis, Tennessee to Hawaii, Honolulu between November 8 thru Dec 2. I am look for the best deal so it doesn’t matter which airport I make my departure. Thanks
Hi Anette,
With a good connection, prices from either airport are about $900. If you have more stops and take 20+ hours (not recommended) you can lower the price by $100. Suggest waiting a month or so as it could improve somewhat with a target in the $700’s.
Aloha.
Hi, I’m traveling to Kona could depart from Lax, San Diego, or Orange County which ever would get me the best deal, our vacation days available are Jan 3 thru Jan 12 2017. 3 adults and 3 kids 7,9,11(ages)
I got 5 nights 6 days at the fairway villas in Kona. We also have thanksgiving available but would rather travel in January.
Hi Oscar,
No nonstop on 1/3. American is $395, United $410 and Hawaiian $550. All from San Diego. LAX starts at $610 on American.
Aloha.
Hi,
I am looking to travel from the bay area (preferably SFO or OAK) between the 12th and 25th of August. There was a big rise in prices in the last few days, do you know if there are any special days or promotions expected in the following week or two? The 186$ / 199$ deals you mention here are no longer available.
I am looking to land in Honolulu and return from Maui (or the opposite, not very significant). Thanks.
Hi Daniel,
Those prices are still current, just not available for the dates you are traveling. Maui has $378 starting 3 days later if you have flexibility. Honolulu is somewhat higher as is an asymetrical routing. Otherwise might improve for your dates if you wait – gut feeling is 60% towards improvement.
Aloha.
Good morning, We visited the big island and ended up buying two acres,so I am looking for deals to get us back. We like to have a flight with only one layover. We have used united and ended up with delays,cancelations so would like to know what airline would also get us there. We live in the wisconsin area. No dates set just looking for a great deal.
Hi Kay,
As you already know there is really no real air market between Wisconsin and Hawaii, so there will just be seasonal fluctuations in prices. Fall prices start in mid-$700’s but with multiple stops. Better deals are to be had from Chicago, if that’s possible. Those are both cheaper and more direct.
Aloha.
Aloha!
We are doing a last minute travel to Big Island this month. Wondering which area would be best to stay in (mid July to mid August) in Big Island… We have a 5 year old, so hoping to stay near calm waters where he could do swim/snorkeling.
Thank you!
K
Hi Kimmie,
Do you have the Big Island Revealed guidebook? Highly recommended for questions like what areas to stay in and what to do (swim/snorkeling).
Aloha.
I enjoy reading your newsletter but am trying to find a deal for a trip to Honolulu from NYC over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday. Is that a pipe dream? I’ve been watching for weeks…
Hi Moira.
Yes pipe dream it is. Definitely no deals. Best advice on holiday flying however is here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/.
Aloha.
Aloha! We are planning a family trip from Milwaukee to Oahu June 9th to 17th, 2017. Our schedule is not very flexible. When is the best time to purchase tickets? Early, when the airlines first release the flights? Or do we wait? What can we expect to pay? Thank you for your advice.
Hi Bonnie.
We’d suggest buying as soon as they are available. It should be about $1,200 RT.
Aloha.
Hello , planning my 1st trip to Hawaii in June of 2017. Flexible on dates . Really don’t know where to begin . A lot will depend on airline . Needing to fly out of San Antonio , Austin , Houston or Dallas Tx. Wouldn’t mind a layover in Cali if it takes us that route . Would it be cheaper to book a flight to California ( preferably LAX) then book Hawaii? How far in advance should I book ? Thanks so much !
Hi Jamie,
Best info on your trip planning questions is contained here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/.
If you’re going to come and go by the first week of June you have a low season trip. After that it’s a high season trip with prices about double. The airlines have the stopover thing figured out. In addition, stopovers unless true stay-overs are problematic in terms of security, checked bags, and potential for missed flights.
Dallas will probably be the cheapest of your choices. Prices for June aren’t out quite yet, but we’d anticipate $1100+. Best bought sooner than later if you’re trip is in high season.
Lastly, for general trip planning, high suggest you check out the Hawaii Revealed guidebooks.
Aloha.
Please help………..airfare from Atlanta to Hawaii is just about unaffordable. My husband and I are trying to plan a trip to Hawaii sometime after October, I have family there. We’ re very flexible can can travel anytime from Novermber on. How do we go about finding the best airfare.deals ? We’ ll be flying out of Atlanta to the Big Island and Honolulu. I look forward to you reply.
Thank you,
Caren
Hi Caren,
On the Delta nonstop, some dates are in low $800’s which is somewhat reasonable. Example is November 2/10 to/from Honolulu. Adding Maui to that makes the fare $930. There are lower prices, like $693 on Alaska, but you’ll spend a very long time getting there. Could improve if you wait, but we can’t say that with any certainty.
Aloha.
Hey there,
I’m going from Minneapolis to Maui and having trouble finding the deals that you listed. My dates are 100% flexible between August and November, but the lowest the Delta calendar is showing me is $360 each way.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Sorry to say that the MSP deals are gone for now and we’ve removed them. Good news is that while these obviously come and go very quickly, the MSP ones have been on again and off again (between several airlines) for the past few weeks. They could well reappear again.
Aloha.
Aloha, I am trying to get the travel deal of $186 in October. Can leave from San Francisco or LA. Can you please direct me where to find this deal? Thank you
Hi Donna.
That deal is from SF, not from LA. Today the best price is $189. You can get to that here. That is also available at Virgin America which has different availability.
On either airline you’ll need to do a search using the calendar for the fastest way to find the available days.
Regarding Los Angeles, there are $229 fares today only, which you can see here.
Aloha.
Thank you very much for all your info on Hawaii, especially the airfare deals! I have a question that perhaps you/someone else can answer re: Sunset on the Beach at Waikiki for Hawaii Five 0 season 7 premiere. Do you know when it is, or what site I can go on to find out? Thank you, appreciate any help!
Hi Naomi.
Thank you. We heard that they had the blessing for the new season today but haven’t heard yet about the beach event. We saw that on this Facebook page, which seems to be the most current: https://www.facebook.com/Hawaii50Forever/.
Aloha.
what and when is the best deal flying from Cincinnati to Maui? My wife and I have been there once and would love to go back!
Thank you so much!
Milton
Hi Milton.
In September and October, fares currently range from $657 to about $800. Best prices are on American and United. The lower the fare the longer the connection and these vary from 12 to 22 hours. If you wait a bit you might be able to get a better connection for the same price. That $650 range is a best price target for low season.
Aloha.
I need to leave from OGG with final destination of Denver mid-August through mid-September, a 2 week stay. Guess my enduring question is about the benefit of piecing together one-ways v. direct round trip. Rather steer clear of United.
Mahalo nui
Hi Cynthia.
There are $519 airfares with a quick connection on Virgin America. It doesn’t really get better than that. Don’t wait.
Also, unless you’re flying with carry-on only, piecing together without a true stopover is quite problematic in terms of security, rechecking of baggage and multiple fees, potential for missed flights, etc.
Aloha.
Aloha. We will be honeymooning on Big Island Nov 8 – 18th or so and are wondering if you think ticket prices will drop any further than they are now, around $274 (I think) one way. Travelling out of PDX to KOA on the direct flight hopefully.
Mahalo and love your blog. Big Island adventures, can’t wait to be there already, definitely one of my favorite places ever!
Thank you!
Hi Kelly,
Not sure the $599 price on the nonstop will improve. Returning on Friday is about a $25 premium over mid-week. Limited availability on that route this year isn’t helping prices.
Aloha.
Aloha! My wife and I has a room booked on Oahu from February 20-March 1 from NYC, we are wondering if airfare will get any lower then the currant 806 per person round trip? This will be our 7th trip to the land of aloha, and we enjoy your website, and we are always looking for ways to make our trip cheaper. Mahalo for your time!
Hi Mark.
For your dates, price is currently $772 on Hawaiian nonstop.
Not sure it will improve – and if so it won’t be by much. Suggest buying. Then try to get row 11. https://beatofhawaii.com/is-hawaiian-airlines-premium-economy-for-you/
Aloha.
Hi BOH,
Heading to Maui for my honeymoon from Oct. 11th – 22nd (leaving from Boston). What price points should I be looking out for? I’ve signed up for your email list and have seen some deals here and there, but haven’t been quick enough to take advantage. I’ve noticed that prices have been trending lower (currently see flights for $747) and I’m wondering if they’ll keep dropping. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
-Brendon
Hi Brendon.
There are fares as low as $698 in that market, but not for your dates. Short of changing to mid-week travel, $747 is a great price on a good connection with American. Doubtful it will go lower.
Going to Honolulu (Oahu) from Lax. Thinking to go in September or October. Time is flexible for me though. Do those two months have the best vacation deals? Thinking to go for five days four nights. How much would the flight be? How much would a four star hotel cost? Is there a deal for car rental?
Hi Henry,
Yes that’s an excellent time to visit. Airfare – would target in the $400’s – stay tuned with us for best deals. Suggest shopping around for accommodations and car as they vary a lot. Or look at packages.
Aloha.
Thank you!
Hi BOH!
Planning on a Kaua’i trip mid-October from the Bay Area. Currently, the cheapest flight I’ve come across was $450RT. They say the best time to purchase flights are 7-8 weeks before departure date. Do you foresee flights to Kaua’i from Bay Area in October to decrease?
Thank you for your time!
Vanessa
Hi Vanessa,
Not very likely that we’ll see better deals than low to mid $400’s for Kauai this year.
Aloha.
Aloha, looking for airfare and found this in my email, yeah! However when I click the link to fly from Portland to Honolulu I can’t seem to find the price you are advertising. Can you give me some direction please??? Mahalo Sarah
Hi Sarah.
That price ($214 each way) is available from October through mid-December. For about $20 more it is available starting mid-August.
Aloha.
Aloha….is there ever any airfare deals from SMF to either HNL or KOA during low season? Love reading your infirmities site. 🙂
Mahalo
Hi Esther.
Thanks. It could happen (and used to happen with some regularity). For now HNL is priced at just over $500 and Kona about $30 more. Best deal, unfortunately, is to drive to Oakland.
Aloha.
Aloha BOH,
Thank you for your wonderful updates, tips, and treasures! I just booked Las Vegas to Kauai in October 2016… Got $608 RT on United! I prefer HA and their aloha spirit, but with the strike pending and the great price, I just felt is was the time to purchase. I’m so excited, I just had to share!
Mahalo for all you do.
Gina
Hi Gina.
Thanks so much for letting us know. Have a great time on our garden island.
Aloha.
Aloha,
Looking for flights from ORD or MKE to OGG on 12/23/16 returning 1/7/17. When is the best time to look for good fares. I know this time is going to be expensive but I would like to get the best fares possible.
Hi Julie,
That probably won’t change in price – in fact it could go up if availability becomes an issue. $1,200. Suggest buying now if you’re determined to go. Otherwise with more flexibility you can wait and see what might happen – sometimes travel on holidays themselves and eves thereof can cost less as it gets closer.
Aloha.
Aloha! Looking to travel SJC/OAK-OGG departing 11/27 and returning 12/3 (firm dates). Current HAL fares are running $467 r/t out of SJC. Do you recommend booking now at this fare or waiting for a potential fall sale/better deal? Mahalo and really enjoy your site!
Hi Chuckworth.
Thank you. For your Sunday/Saturday dates, that might be as good as it gets. Leaving and returning one day later puts it into $300’s. Probably would just book now.
Aloha.
What is a good price for round-trip travel from phoenix to Maui? Looking to go at the mid to end of August our dates are flexible but we prefer nonstop. Trying to decide when to book (now or see if there will be better deals). Thanks!!
Hi Lindsay.
Never very good prices on that route. Right now starting at just over $600. Could come down since you’re flexible. Would suggest waiting and watching with us. Price target is $550 or less. Could happen anytime this summer.
Aloha.
Going to Honolulu from Lax. Thinking to go in September or October. Time is flexible for me though. Do those two months have the best vacation deals? Thinking to go for seven days six nights. What would be the budget for flight, hotel, and car rental?
Aloha!
Wife and I looking to travel out of Phoenix to Maui, August 20-27,preferably non stop. American is quoting $687 r/t. Do you forsee any reductions? Obviously Saturday is higher but we’re in a timeshare.
Thanks for any assistance!
Ed
Hi Ed.
The price right now is $579 RT on that nonstop. Not sure it will improve for weekend travel so suggest buying.
Aloha.
Aloha! We will be traveling from Spokane WA to Honolulu in June of 2017. I’ve never been to Hawaii, so I’m new to the airfare pricing. Not knowing when to purchase tickets and what’s a good deal, would you be able to offer any tips for me? I’ve heard maybe driving to Seattle and getting a flight from there would be a good choice. Thought I’d get an early start on my planning for the best deals. Thanks in advance!
Hi Shannon.
Great trip to be planning. So that is one heck of a long drive unless you’re going there anyway. Definitive information on your questions is here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/. Only first week of June will be low season, then the prices of air, accommodations, car will jump pretty dramatically. For airfare planning, budget in the mid to high $500’s if trip is done by early June or $800 or so if after that.
Aloha.
Hello Aloha,
Do you foresee the flights from SAN to HNL dropping lower than the $468 round trip mark? Thank you.
Hi Brad.
If it does it won’t be by much as that route doesn’t have a very competitive nature at this time.
Aloha.
can’t find the flight from oak-kon for 236.00 one way?? what airline??
Was the LAX – LIHUE link taken off? It’s not working. Mahalo!
Hi Lori.
Thanks! That’s now fixed.
Aloha.
Aloha! I just saw this email and I searched for the flight from Oakland to Maui. Is the price shown of $279 each way? Or did I just miss an incredible deal? The cheapest flight I am seeing now is around $390, which isn’t bad, but $279 sounded so much better!
Mahalo
Tammy
Ahhh…I just finally found where it says in the article that this fare was for one way. Just dreaming I guess! 😉 Anxiously awaiting a great deal to my favorite place on Earth!
Aloha
Tammy
Hi Tammy,
All good. For peak summer travel, that actually is an incredible deal. Just saying.
Aloha.
How come kauai is continually left out of these deals?????
Hi Joan.
Actually it is both Kona and Kauai. Those don’t have enough traffic, competition and flights when compared with Maui and Oahu. That will be changing starting in the 2nd half of 2017 as Hawaiian and other airlines start to get new single isle planes better suited to neighbor islands.
Aloha.
