Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to Hawaii from the mainland U.S. in early January, specifically between January 3rd and January 15th, to take advantage of lower availability and fewer travelers after the holiday season.
Sweet Spot
You can book a round-trip business class flight from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii for just 40,000 Hawaiian Airlines miles, which typically costs around $1,200 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a multi-city itinerary flying from Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL) and then to Sydney (SYD) via Auckland (AKL), which can save you around 20,000 miles compared to booking the segments individually.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Hawaiian Airlines on inter-island routes, as they impose a baggage fee of $30 for the first checked bag, which can significantly add up for frequent travelers.
