Southwest Airlines is offering a deep discount on flights from the continental US to the Hawaiian Islands for travel between December 2023 and May 2024. This 30% discount applies to flights purchased with cash or points. All you have to do is use the code “SAVE30” when booking.
You may be wondering if it’s a good idea to visit Hawaii after Maui suffered widespread devastation from wildfires in August. Here’s a guide on how to visit Maui responsibly and support the local economy.

Sample flights
Let’s say you want to spend a week in Honolulu in February. If you’re traveling from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), there are plenty of solid options, including many nonstop routes.
Once you choose your dates, enter “SAVE30” in the promo code box.
You will see the discount reflected in all rates. For this particular example, I found nonstop flights for just $118 each way. They normally cost $158 each way.
The total price for the round trip would be approximately $236.
These prices apply to Southwest’s most basic Wanna Get Away fare. These tickets come with one carry-on bag and two checked bags. They are non-refundable, but you can receive credit for the flight as long as you cancel at least 10 minutes before the flight’s original scheduled departure time.
Also note that the discount is applied before taxes and fees are included, and the sale does not apply to inter-island travel.
