Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights to Hawaii during the low season, specifically between mid-April and mid-June, as well as September through early December, for routes like Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL) to maximize availability and minimize competition.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tahiti (PPT) for 60,000 Hawaiian Airlines miles, which typically costs around $1,200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Auckland (AKL) via Honolulu (HNL) for 60,000 miles instead of the standard 70,000 miles for a direct route, saving 10,000 miles while enjoying a stopover in Hawaii.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Hawaiian Airlines to and from the mainland U.S. as they often impose high fees, including a $50 surcharge for inter-island travel and up to $200 for changes or cancellations on award tickets.
