Important news for those following our Hawaii vacation deals. Earlier today we updated our most popular post, Cheapest Time to Fly to Hawaii, with analysis through Summer 2017. Here is a summary of three important things that will help you score even better Hawaii deals.
1. Look for more flights and new aircraft starting in 2017
This will make it possible for Hawaiian Airlines to increase nonstop flights to Honolulu, Maui, Kona and Kauai. The same is true for competitor Alaska Airlines. The delivery of new planes will start in 2017 and continue thereafter. Look for this to help with both prices and availability. See Cheapest Time to Fly to Hawaii for more details.
2. Flight duration now strongly impacting prices
Nonstops will be priced higher. And when flying with a connection, remember that the longer the layover, the cheaper the price. More on this when you read Cheapest Time to Fly to Hawaii.
3. Latest changes to seasonal dates affecting Hawaii deal dates
- Spring break holiday 2017. Airfare is typically 50% higher if you plan to travel March 23 through April 9, 2017. Keep these new dates in mind when thinking Hawaii vacation deals.
- Winter 2017 from west coast cities. Here’s a surprise. Deals will start as early as December 27, 2016 and continue through March 22, 2017.
- Winter 2017 from non west coast cities. Best prices will start January 8, 2017 and go through March 22, 2017.
- Spring low season 2017. New dates will be April 10 through June 8, 2017.

Aloha ,
Planning our family vacation in 2017 . Hoping to go in June however I have looking at airline tickets for mths now and not seeing anything reasonable . Would be easier to fly out of Houston , Austin or San Antonio but if the price is right not opposed to the 5 Hr drive to Dallas ! Hoping for a direct flight . Any ideas of the best time to book airline with out it costing a $1,000 pp rt . Thanks !
Hi Jamie,
If you’re planning to vacation after the first week in June, per our Cheapest Time to Fly to Hawaii post, there will be no deals, either now or later. Houston looks most favorable with nonstops at just over $1,000. Suggest buying now. If and only if you plan to complete your vacation and return by the first week, then stay tuned for deals.
Aloha.
