Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Hawaii from the mainland U.S. during the low season in January or February, as availability is typically better and requires only 40,000 miles round-trip from cities like Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL).
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Los Angeles to Maui for just 40,000 Hawaiian Airlines miles, which typically costs around $600 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York City (JFK) via Honolulu (HNL), saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct LAX-JFK flight, as the routing allows for a more flexible itinerary while still adhering to Hawaiian Airlines' routing rules.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Hawaiian Airlines on routes to and from the mainland U.S. during peak seasons, as they can impose additional fees like a $30 checked bag fee and a $25 seat selection fee per leg, which can quickly add up.
