In case you missed it earlier this week, today’s Hawaii deals feature another fare war coupon code sale bringing back yesteryear prices. These offers must be booked by April 1, 2016 at 6:00am PT or sooner. That means you really only have today to take advantage of them.

Hawaiian Airlines fares have also just dropped in response to this sale.
If you’re ready for a spring vacation on Maui or Oahu, however, look no further and read on for the needed promo code.

I’m sad to say I found this website a little too late and missed the recent sale that expired on Apr 1. Do you know if there will be any other upcoming sales?
Planning on travelling to Maui from San Francisco towards the end of July/early Aug. RT prices now are around $650-$700. Should I wait or pull the trigger soon?
Also, what are peoples opinion between Virgin America and Hawaiian Airlines?
Hi MC,
There are $588 (midweek) to $624 fares in your time frame. Those are great prices for summer where you expect $700+ and it isn’t likely prices will drop further.
Both airlines are high quality so it largely comes down to personal preference.
Aloha.
Hello!
Going to the Big Island & Oahu in mid-September. Since I’m coming from the midwest, it looks like the best option is to take Southwest to either PHX, LAS, LAX, SFO, or SJC (all around $300 RT from ICT), stay overnight and then fly with Hawaiian Airlines the next morning. By far, the best Hawaiian Airlines rate is out of SJC for SJC-KOA, KOA-HNL, HNL-SJC for around $586. Phoenix is closer to $800 or more. What are your thoughts on these coming down (especially the SJC and PHX options).
Thank You!
Hi Greg.
For your dates (looking mid-week in September) there are fares of just over $400 on Hawaiian SJC-HNL and KOA-SJC. Inter-island is highly dependent on time of day and day of week (and is best booked well in advance). Those mainland airfares might improve a little but not a lot, should you decide to wait.
Aloha.
Hi! I’m looking at flying to HNL from PHX at end of October, how early should I get tickets to get the best price? Mahalo
Hi Drew,
With Phoenix it isn’t making much difference when you buy. Little competition and stuck prices. About $550 is the lowest we are seeing.
Aloha.
Four adults from North Carolina are making their first trip to the Big Island in September 2016. We would like to fly from GSO to KOA on 9/5/16 and return on 9/17/16. Prices were in the $900 range but are now over $1000. What price range should we be looking for and when do you think we will find the best deals? Any tips you can provide will be most appreciated.
Hi Bill,
Yes currently $1,074. Price target for off-season is $800 or less. There are occasionally fares in the $600’s but that’s hard to count on. Shop this summer.
Aloha.
Hi! We are planning a trip to Oahu from Phoenix beginning of July for about 10 people. Right now I see fares for $714 on Hawaiian Air. Do you think that will go down any, or should I jump at that rate? Thank you for your advice! I greatly appreciate it!
Hi Rebecca.
For 10 people, please contact their group sales desk at 1-800-367-8058 to see if they can help. Let us know how that turns out.
Aloha.
Thank you for your advise. I did call the group reservation line & I was quoted $768. So, Would you recommend jumping on the $714 price, or do you anticipate a drop in rates?
Thanks again for your help! 🙂
Hi Rebecca,
It doesn’t make sense that the group rate is higher than the single ticket price. Consider asking to speak with a supervisor. Otherwise, there’s no reason to expect the $714 price will come down.
Aloha.
Hi, thanks for all the great info….I have looked and looked on the Virgin site to put in the promo code REVEAL. Any suggestions on where to find it specifically?
Thank you!
Hi Linda,
Agree it is kind of confusing. First select your city pairs, then select your dates. It is the cheapest dates pre-code that will yield the cheapest ones post-code, if that makes sense. Then in the upper right corner of the page that shows up next (page with flights and prices) there is a box that says promo code in red. That’s the spot. After that prices will be adjusted.
Aloha.
Any deals for kauai hawaii?
Hi Wanda.

Hello, my family and I are planning to fly to HNL from SEA July 29- August 02, as of today, price is $679. Will this price go down? Or it’s safe to book?
Thanks.
Hi Aileen,
It is not likely that it will go down for those high season dates.
Aloha.
Thank you for the helpful articles! I have a 24 hour hold on a Virgin Air flight departing 7/6/16, returning 7/18/16 Lax-HNL-LAX. Rate is $764. Any thoughts on rates possibly dropping soon? Based on your recent articles, I may be rushing things. Thank you for your insight!
Hi Carol,
Our gut feeling is that LA could do better than that this coming summer due to increased competition. Hope that helps. Best hope target price is $600 or so.
Aloha.
Thank you. I noticed rising airfares on the mid morning flights, and it looks like many seats are booked. I cannot tell if that’s other wholesalers holding seats or not. I appreciate your time!
I got super excited when I saw these prices, but then I saw the dates. We need a flight around July 21-Aug1 from Dallas. I can book with Virgin from SFO to OGG for $600 and just book from DAL to SFO later (we would just have a mini vaca in SFO). I’m wondering if I should wait and see if the prices go down or if it’s too risky that I won’t be able to find availability for 4 if I wait.
I just noticed that I can book from DAL to OGG for $923 RT. I think thats the cheapest I’ve seen from Dallas. I’m wondering if I should book this.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Thank you so much, I LOVE this site!!

Hi Christy,
Thank you. Yes that’s a good price. We also see there are low $900 fares with good connection times on Alaska Airlines for your dates.
Aloha.
I didn’t notice that. Thank you.
Aloha!
Just wanted to point out that the Virgin coupon is only good for up to 2 passengers… But, we were still able to secure $140 each way for our family of 6 on Hawaiian Airlines!!!
Thanks so much for the tips Beat of Hawaii! =)
When do flights start again LA to Kona direct?
Hi Nat,
Nonstop flights will resume tomorrow.
Aloha.
Thanks for posting this today! (March 28) With the Virgin America promo code it comes to $560 for both of us, from SFO round-trip, in mid-May. ($280 per person – nice!) My wife and I are headed to Maui for our first visit to your state. Can’t wait!
Hi Rick,
So glad that worked out and that you’ll be visiting Hawaii for the first time. Yes that’s a great deal.
Aloha.
Hello, I don’t seem to see the promo code for the flight coupon. Can you tell me what it is or where it is at?
Hi Sarah,
It is there, and it is VACAY25.
Aloha.
How many points does it take to get a roundtrip ticket from Denver to Lihue and Dallas to Lihue
June 19 thru June 26 or June 29! Might have to rethink Hawaii and the honk about Cancun instead!
Hi Arlene,
You’ll need to log in to check as points redemptions aren’t something we deal with. Have a great vacation – wherever you decide to go.
Aloha.
I booked 4 tickets from MCO>PHX>HNL then HNL>LAX>MCO (May 31st – June 9th) for $3600. Was this a good deal?
Hi Neal,
Not sure if Phoenix is a stopover or just a transit stop. In any event, for MCO-HNL, we’re seeing $779-$943 depending on connection time for your dates. There are other fares in general time frame for $670 RT but these have very long layovers. Hope that helps.
Aloha.
PHX is a 2 hour layover, plane change.
Hello!
I want to book a trip to Hawaii for 4. (My husband & 16 & 19 year old kids). We would like to do Oahu and Maui from LAX or Burbank. When is the best time to book for the best deal and what month would you recommend going?
Thanks so much for any insight!
Amy
Hi Amy,
No flights from Burbank. LAS will have deals when new flights start in May, so stay tuned for that. Overall, best information we have on when to travel for Hawaii deals is found here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly/.
Thank you for your site. It really is exactly what I was hoping to find. My husband might have to take a work trip on Honolulu. I’m trying to see if I can afford to fly myself and the kids. We are in San Diego and our timeline is flexible in April. I was hoping for flight around $400, but they seem to be around $540. Am I looking incorrectly?
Thank you again for all you can do!
Hi Nora.
Thanks you!
There are $407 airfares, for example, 4/17-4/27 on the Hawaiian Airlines nonstop. Other days too. Do a flexible date search on their website (view by month). Hope that helps.
Aloha.
I would like to travel to Lihue 4/4 to 4/9 and was wondering if the fares will drop traveling from Oakland, CA currently 767 Thank you for your assistance
Hi Yvonne,
Currently $719. Might not go down and availability looks like it may become an issue on 4/9. If you could return 4/19, price is $576.
Aloha.
Hi Steve !
I’m seeing airfares from Newark to Hnl 678.00 RT for May 22 return June 2 is this a good deal or will I see lower fares ?
Also my final destination is Maui 7days then back to Hnl for 3 days . What are good inter island prices? I’m seeing 165.00 RT Hnl to Ogg on the same dates ?
My daughters will also be flying from Phoenix AZ on the same dates May 22 to June 2 I’m seeing fares of 514.00 RT. Do you think airfares will go down from Phoenix to Hnl or is that a fare price ?
Thank You ! 😊🍍
Hi Maryann,
Not sure who Steve is. $678 is a fair price and if it does improve a little later, it won’t be by much. One suggestion is instead to fly on United to Maui via SF and then nonstop back from HNL to EWR. Price for that is $820 and then you’ll just need one inter-island flight. About $80 is a good price for that segment. Phoenix will probably not improve. Hope that helps.
Aloha.
Great site here and love the insights.
Looking for deals from
Philadelphia or Baltimore to Lihue in mid to late July. Preferably jul 13-jul 25. Can’t find anything less than $1k per person. Any deals coming that you know of?
Thanks!
Hi Tina,
Peak of summer isn’t a time of year to expect deals and $1k is the price to be expected. Deals are largely spring and fall. Thus it is highly unlikely that it will improve.
Aloha.
Hi,
I’ve been trying to look for roundtrip flights from Denver to Lihue 4/2 – 4/9 and haven’t really seen any deals since I started looking this fall. Unfortunately our dates aren’t really flexible. Have you seen any deals, and do you anticipate flights coming down in the next few weeks? I’ve only seen RT flights at about $1000 per person. Thanks!
Hi Dan,
Those are the last weekend days of spring break so we don’t anticipate those getting better unless at the very last minute. 3/30-4/7 is $639 by comparison on United, but that won’t help if you don’t have flexibility.
Aloha.
Would like to go to Kauai, myself and my 11 year old son. Can leave late on March 18 or anytime March 19. Return march 25. Can leave from Sacramento, Oakland, SFO. Would like to stay near Kapaa. Have stayed at Pono Kai and Lae Nani and liked both. We will need a car, too. Thanks, I read every post. A great site.
Hi Rick,
Airfare starting in low $800’s with one stop and about $100-$150 less with two stops. All of the airports are more or less the same price.
Aloha.
Looking to fly 2 adult and 2 kids from RDU to HNL on March 28 till April 4th. Please let what the best deal for us.
Hi Melody.
$776 on American without an overnight flight, or $603 with overnight flight.
Aloha.
I have been reading Beat of Hawaii regularly and have seen all the deals coming out. We are already booked non refundable flights to go to Maui from Feb 24 through April 6…. Paid full price because we booked these tickets long before these sales came out.
We will be going back again in either September or October and staying throug December, 2016. Do you know if there will still be these sales going on for that time of year? I really want to book and get it locked in, but don’t want to miss out on these sales again. Any thoughts?
Thank you.
Hi Doug.
The fall always has reduced prices and that will be true again this year. They may be out sometime in summer if you care to wait.
Aloha.
I’m planning a trip to Maui or Oahu, from Denver, in May. I know there aren’t many deals between Denver and Hawaii, but it sounds more Hawaii airfare sales are expected in general so I’m wondering if you recommend booking now or waiting. Thanks!
Hi N.
There are $569-$579 fares on United in May. Highly doubtful it will improve so suggest buying now. Good price.
Aloha.
The deal doesn’t work when I try to book for 2 adults + 1 child…. What’s up with that?
Hi James,
You might try calling Virgin America and asking them – not sure they’ll know any more however. It appears that adding any number of children, even two, causes the promo code to not work.
Aloha.
I’m seeing $375 RT from Oakland to Kauai for May 23-30th on Hawaiian.
If I’m flexible on traveling between late April to late May, is this a good deal or should I hold out for better?
If you recommend holding out for better sales, what’s a solid deal for Kauai from the bay area for that time of year?
Thanks. Love the site.
Hi Steve,
Yes $378 with one stop at Kahului. Very good price and doubtful you can do better. Would snag that.
Aloha.
Great. Just booked! Good thing I did, the flights were about 80-90% full. Mahalo!
