There’s a new fare sale to Hawaii with amazing prices on direct flights. This is an extensive deal, with discounted flights available from all over the US, but if you live on the West Coast you can book two tickets (or three or four, depending on the size of your family) to Paradise for incredibly low prices .
This latest deal includes round-trip fares to Big Island, Oahu, Kauai and Maui. The nonstop flights depart from Los Angeles and San Francisco, but Seattle is also in the mix with some heavy discounts. Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York City, and Washington, DC all also have round-trip routes available for under $500.
The travel window here usually runs from April to May this year, but some autumn and early 2025 routes are also discounted. These are economy fares from Oneworld partners Alaska Airlines and American Airlines, along with Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines. All of these airlines except United give you free carry-on luggage. Checking your luggage will cost you approximately $40 each way.
One thing we noticed about this deal is that on some routes the cheapest fare is if you book tickets with individual airlines. So keep that in mind as you browse Google Flights.

Sample flights
Let’s start with an absolute bargain. You can fly nonstop from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui for just $199. We found good availability at this price in April and May.
Please note that this is a United ticket, so you will need to pay to check your luggage. However, it is still worth it because the price is so low. According to Google Flights, this is about as low as this rate can get.
Another good deal from the Bay Area is to Honolulu. You can fly nonstop from SFO to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) with United in May for just $257 roundtrip.
Hawaiian Airlines has fares from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to HNL in May for just $201 roundtrip. Please note that this ticket comes with a free carry-on bag.
A flight from LAX to Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA) on the Big Island is also available on United in May for $229 roundtrip. This was easily the month we saw the best prices and availability for flights from Los Angeles saws.
We’ve also found some great prices on flights from Atlanta. If you can clear your schedule in late April, you can book a round-trip route on American from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to OGG for $420. This is a huge discount on what this route normally costs. Although there is a stop in both directions, given the savings we think it’s still worth booking.
Here’s an incredible bargain we spotted from the Midwest. You can fly from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to HNL on American in May for just $422 roundtrip. The fare includes a free carry-on bag.
Another bargain we discovered from Chicago was this round-trip option to Maui via United for just $358. This was another early May flight. For Chicago travelers, May was by far the month with the best deals in this sale.
We end May with this Hawaiian Airlines route from New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to OGG. The total cost for this return option, which comes with a free carry-on bag, is just $382.

In short
There are about a million reasons why you should skip this deal, including the chance to visit Maui and drive the Road to Hana. You also have the added bonus of going in the summer, which is a fantastic time to spot green sea turtles as it is their nesting season.
