Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flight to Hawaii from the mainland U.S. in late January to early February, as this period often sees lower availability and fewer travelers, maximizing your chances of securing a seat for just 60,000 miles.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from the U.S. to Hawaii for 60,000 United MileagePlus miles round-trip in economy class, which typically costs around $500 to $700 in cash.

Routing Trick

Use United's Excursionist Perk by booking a round-trip from Chicago to Tokyo (approximately 12,000 miles round-trip) with an open-jaw stopover in San Francisco, allowing you to visit two cities while only using 60,000 miles for the entire itinerary instead of 72,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights on United Airlines for routes to/from Hawaii, as they often charge a high fee of $150 for award ticket changes and up to $75 for close-in booking fees.
