Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights to Hawaii during the off-peak travel season, specifically between mid-September and mid-November, to maximize availability and minimize miles needed for routes from the West Coast, like Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL).
Sweet Spot
You can book a round-trip flight from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii for as low as 40,000 miles in economy class, which typically costs around $600 in cash, offering great value for your redemption.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Auckland (AKL) via Honolulu (HNL) for 300,000 miles instead of booking directly for 370,000 miles, saving 70,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Hawaiian Airlines on inter-island routes, as they often include a $25 fee for checked bags and a $15 fee for seat selection, which can quickly add up on multiple legs.
