Flying to Hawaii?
There are some general tips that apply to almost all flights, but there are some specific tips when it comes to flying to Hawaii - tips that will make your Hawaii airfare cheaper from the very beginning.
Know the Score: Honolulu 21 | Maui 30
Plan your Hawaii trip well in advance, and book your airfare to Hawaii as early as possible. In general, try to book your airfare to Honolulu at least 21 days in advance, and make it 30 days in advance if you're continuing to Maui.
Stay On Saturday
For the best prices, it's very important that you stay over a Saturday night. If your trip to Hawaii is for 5 days for example, plan it so that you will arrive Wednesday morning with a return to the mainland on Sunday afternoon in order to get the best airfare.
Rule Out Friday Nights and Monday Mornings
Don't buy airline tickets to Hawaii for Friday evening or Monday morning departures. These are obviously the most frequented times for the airlines and the airfare will be much higher.
No Mele Kalikimaka in Hawaii
Avoid holiday travel to Hawaii if at all possible because the airfare is outrageous. If you must travel to Hawaii for Christmas, I recommend booking your flight so you're in the air ON Christmas Day rather than Christmas Eve and flying home on New Years Eve rather than New Years Day.
November is Best
With Thanksgiving as the exception, airfare to Hawaii is usually cheapest between November 1st and December 15th.
Do the Bump
If you are willing to take a "bump" on an overbooked flight, you'll not only be delivered on the next available flight but you could be granted a free round trip to use later! If you're not in a big hurry and the airline announces your flight is overbooked, go quickly to the gate and make a deal.
