Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Hawaii during the off-peak months of January and September, as availability is typically higher for routes like Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL), allowing for better chances to secure seats.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii for just 40,000 miles in economy class, while cash prices typically range from $600 to $800, making it an excellent redemption value.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) via Honolulu (HNL) to save 10,000 miles compared to booking directly from LAX to SYD, as the routing effectively allows you to utilize the Hawaiian Airlines stopover policy.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Hawaiian Airlines on routes to the mainland U.S. as they often impose a $30 fee for checked baggage, in addition to high fuel surcharges that can reach up to $150 on certain flights.
