Here’s how today’s deals work.
Travel at the lowest cost mostly starting in early September until early November 2022, although some routes start in August. The prices listed are the lowest that we found, and other dates are higher. Availability is very limited and depends on the route. Search using the monthly availability calendar on the airline websites.
Notes on sale availability:
- We share cheaper fares than the airlines can advertise due to DOT rules. But these have less availability.
- See the help section below if you can’t find these airfares.
- Airfares change frequently during the day, and prices change as availability is depleted.
- Find and book these now, as they won’t be available much longer.
- Start either on the Mainland or from Hawaii.
- Prices listed are each way and include all taxes and fees.
How to book:
Book directly on the airlines’ websites online; these fares are not available when calling.

Hello BOH editors – a question if I might please….In your experience, would a similar opportunity for low fares be likely to occur in February or May? We have used Skyscanner in the past to try and determine the best times to purchase air fair but we do not have enough real world (practical) experience with Skyscanner in order to place a great deal of trust in them.
I realize you can’t speak for the airlines with respect to what may (or may not) be offered in the future, but we are considering a return trip to Hawaii (either Kauai or Maui) during Feb or May in either ’23 or ’24. The big mystery for us with respect to air fair is when to pull the trigger on tickets. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or opinions you can offer!

Hi Warren.
Thanks. Great question. Both seasons should have good fares, depending on where you are flying from. That is based on the currently elevated level of competition from west coast cities, largely due to Southwest entering the picture. The best time to buy for these is typically about 90 days before, but that varies. We’ll publish airfare sales so please stay tuned.
Aloha.

Hi Lynn.
Since you didn’t say when and what you were looking for, we aren’t able to help.
Aloha.

Hello! Would you suggest booking flights for the entire trip from The east coast to Hawaii or is it better to book a flight to a west coast city, and a separate booking to HI? Anyone done this 2 leg trip?
