Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel to Hawaii from the mainland U.S. during the off-peak season, specifically from mid-January to mid-March, to maximize availability and minimize competition.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii for 80,000 Hawaiian Airlines miles, which typically costs around $600 to $900 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can route from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) via Honolulu (HNL) for 80,000 miles in business class, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to booking a direct route on most other airlines.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid booking flights with Hawaiian Airlines between the mainland U.S. and Hawaii, as they often impose high fees, including a $30 fee for the first checked bag and a $150 fee for international flights, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
