Today, October, Southwest Hawaii deals are back for 2022, with truly great mainland fares on 44 routes from across the country. Coupon code sale prices starting at about $84 each way including all taxes and fees. Not to mention two free checked bags. Previously, Southwest did not offer single itinerary flights from most of the U.S. However, they said that would increase to cover the country eventually, and we see that is being rolled out further.
Fares are valid for travel from January 6 to March 9, 2022.
The best of these Hawaii deals will not last long at all, in fact, we are already seeing availability decline. So, don’t wait even one hour to book directly at Southwest Airlines. Also be sure to check sale pricing from Hawaiian Airlines, since they compete directly on Hawaii routes now. Also, Alaska Airlines competes on Hawaii routes from both the Pacific Northwest and California among other places.
Today’s fare sale is further proof that Southwest remains game-changing for Hawaii travel. The competition was barely getting started before COVID and now it has resumed and should be ongoing for the foreseeable future. So don’t despair if you miss this round of 2022 deals, as there will be more to come.

One-way prices below are the lowest fares that appear in any month between August and November. Use a monthly “low fare calendar” to find the best prices for each route. If you don’t find these fares available, or the dates have changed, what you are looking for may be gone. Fares are widely available at the time of publishing, but not for all or even most days, and not over holiday periods or most weekends.
Notes on Southwest Hawaii Deals:
– Two free checked bags.
– No seat assignments. Options for $25-$50 will improve seat selection choices when boarding.
– No meals for sale, only free drinks, and snacks. The first service consists of a snack bag that includes crackers, pretzels, cheese spread, Tic-Tacs, and fruit snacks. The second service is Pepperidge Farm cookies.
– No charger ports. Bring a charged battery.
– In-flight entertainment is only available on your personal device. Fee-based satellite WiFi is $8 per flight, which is a great deal.

Aloha!
Looking to book RT from SLC to OGG March of 2021. Any idea on what price I should look for and when is best time to book?
Mahalo for any advice!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Julie.
Can’t say with any specificity. Depends on time of month and day of week. Looks like end of March will be peak of spring break. Plan on perhaps $300-$450 RT. Book either early when released or towards the end for best price and early for best availability option.
Aloha.
Cori says
Can you please help me booking for our family of 4 to Maui in the Spring of 2020 (April 4 – April 11)? Southwest is our preferred airline because of points and potential companion pass (we’re so close to our next one!) Our home airport is STL so we know we have a connecting flight before a flight to Hawaii. Thank you so much!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Cori.
That is a very challenging time – peak of spring break. Probably best to lock that down ASAP since you can’t expect there to be better pricing ahead.
Aloha.
Al says
Aloha. Thanks for the most recent update to the Southwest fares. We were able to purchase two RT HNL to Hilo tickets for $104! We will use these for a day trip to the Big Island during our Oahu stay in April. Hoping for the same sort of fares later in the month to one of the other islands. Will follow closely. Thanks so much for keeping us informed!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Al.
That’s great. And thanks for letting us know that worked out for you!
Aloha.
Neil says
Trying to find out about HNL to KOA. 14-18 Mar.
Al G. says
Good evening & aloha! Much thanks for the updates. We are visiting next April, and were able to purchase a pair of the Honolulu to Hilo SWA tickets $104. What a bargain – thanks to you. Mahalo nui 🙏
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Al.
Glad to hear! Thanks very much for letting us know. Enjoy your trip.
Aloha.
Michelle says
Is booking gonna be available in June for these deals? I’m looking to fly to Maui from Sacramento Ca on June 9th and return the 14th.
GD says
Any thoughts on when San Diego $99 tickets will be released?
Tom W. says
Aloha trying to get a round trip from Hilo to Pittsburgh in early Dec. My dates are flexible but have a doctor’s appt. On the 12th. Return around 19 of dec. Any ideas? Maholo Tom W
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Tom.
If you can go earlier and/or return by the 17th in any event, you’ll save $500! Otherwise expect to pay about $1,300 RT as you’ll be in holiday season.
Aloha.
Noreen C says
Hi, any idea when (or if) the SAN Diego to Honolulu Southwest flights at $99rt are expected to be announced?
Zel says
When will the 99$ sale start n end
Thanks
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Zel.
We’ll all know if and then that happens.
Aloha.
Mary G. says
We live in Kansas and are wanting to go to the Big Island the middle of January 2020. Can you help with the least expensive way to get there. The nearest airport is out of Tulsa Ok.
Thanks,
Mary
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Mary.
It will cost just under $750 RT with one stop and a good connection. Or for $100 less you’ll end up spending nearly 24 hours with stops. That is available now. Best sms to be United via Denver.
Aloha.
Belete M says
Can you please help me booking for two?
Flying out from Sacramento to Honolulu on March 3, 2020 and returning on 3/09/2020.
Thank you
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Belete.
Lowest price outbound on SW is now $159. Return date is outside of their current availability and will be released later. Look for more sale prices ahead from all the carriers.
Aloha.
Big D. says
I just got a round trip ticket on very first SW flight to Kauai and added my wife with companion pass!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
Vicky says
I did, too! Mahalo for staying on top of this!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Vicki.
We’re so glad it worked out. Thanks for letting us know.
Aloha.
Sherry B says
Would like to see deals from Atlanta to Hawaii
Jim says
Hello Guys!
So based on what I am reading none of these new Routes start until January, is that accurate?
Thanks again for staying on top of this!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Jim.
That’s correct, unless something changes. They would have much preferred to start earlier to capture the holiday travelers. It must just not have been feasible with the aircraft availability issues.
Aloha.
Jim says
Doh! That is disappointing…Lisa and I were hoping to get there this Fall with some deals. Looks like we will be flying Hawaiian in October then, as their prices are still more than competitive…going to get it booked before prices go up. 🙁
On a positive side note, we are likely going to get to Kauai next year, with our resort points, so maybe we can buy you guys a coffee, when the time comes? Take care and (as always) we look forward to following the future developments of SWA through Beat of Hawaii!
Much Aloha!
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Jim.
Yes, you’re on for coffee. Just let us know. This has been hard for Southwest and their customers to figure out. Not very much communication, and lots of complication from the prolonged absence of their new fleet. Hopefully this will get straightened out sooner than later.
Aloha.
Jim says
Aloha BoH! Just a quick update about SWA flight bookings:
Recently, I was able to talk to an SWA employee to try and understand why their online booking system allows me to book flights from SMF to ITO, yet has no flights on their calendar from ITO to SMF as a return (or starting) route at any time after their Jan. 19th starting date. I found that their booking system apparently forces you to book multiple flights to go back from Hilo to the Mainland at this point. So, if you are having issues finding return flights on their calendar from the Outer Islands, (Oahu/Honolulu works fine) to West Coast cities know that you will have to book multiple tickets, at least for now. It is similar to how you would have to book from the East Coast to the West Coast, then book another ticket from The West Coast to Hawaii.
The Employee I talked with confessed that she and other employees, that do phone bookings, are just as frustrated, because it requires more work for them to book flights also. She also said they were ever so slowly adding connections in their system. At this point, it remains to be seen how long it will take to iron out the inconveniences within their booking system. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later?
Take care!
Beat of Hawaii says
Thanks Jim.
Aloha.
Dawn says
As far as I can see, the SW calendar has not yet been posted beyond Jan 5th. So booking dates past that is not yet possible
Kim says
Anyone else having problems booking a Feb flights to Kauai? I found the date and click to select the flight and it keeps giving me an error.
DIANA B says
I just get a blank screen when I search for flights. Maybe the site is overwhelmed at this time.
Pam says
I just checked the Southwest website and didn’t find any $99 fares for Jan or Feb; cheapest price showing one way is $139. Where are the special deals? Thank you.
Beat of Hawaii says
Hi Pam.
You didn’t say exactly what you were searching for. Availability was as indicated when published.
Aloha
Tammy says
Aloha! I didn’t get in on the $99 tickets but I got an even better deal. I just redeemed my Hawaiian Miles and got 2 roundtrip tickets to Maui for less than $200! And that was with the extra comfort seat upgrade! See you in October, Maui! Mahalo for all the info you provide!
Cheryl J says

Cody says
My family of 4 is looking to for flights to HNL from the California Bay Area or Sacramento. Dates are October 12 (a Saturday) or 13th – October 19 (a Saturday) or 20th. Right now best I have found is $440/person round trip on Alaska. Should I try and do better than that?
