Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Hawaii from the mainland U.S. during the off-peak months of September to early November, as availability tends to be better and requires fewer miles, especially on routes like Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL).
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from the West Coast (like Los Angeles) to Hawaii for just 20,000 Hawaiian Airlines miles, while cash prices typically range from $400 to $600.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL) via Maui (OGG) instead of a direct flight, allowing you to earn an additional 2,000 miles while only using 20,000 miles for the ticket.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Hawaiian Airlines on inter-island routes, as they often impose a $30 fee for checked bags and additional surcharges, which can significantly increase your overall travel cost.
