I have also flown to Hawaii for as cheap as $5.60 using my FREE points from my Hawaiian Airlines credit card.
Once you sign up, there is no minimum purchase to get 70K miles. I have seen one-way flights as low as 12,500 points, but you can expect to pay $17,50,0, which is four FREE one-way trips. Apply here:
PRO TIP – I normally pay to fly home as it can be 25,000 to 35,000 points to get home which is how they get you. Flying back to the west coast is normally under $200 USD so check that before booking.
Canadian PRO TIP – fly to LA, Vegas, Seattle or San Deigo and grab a $99 flight from there. Flair to Vegas is normally the cheapest and can be had under $100 CDN.
Bags – you do not need to check a b, ag as prices he Costco are the same, more or less. You can even get a $1.50 hot dog on the Islands when you grab a few things. I also use compression packs so you can get a shit ton of things (NO LIQUIDS) in your FREE personal and or FREE carryon bag.
OK – back to the post for today, seat sales to Hawaii, which happen all the time. Once one airline has a sale, the rest of them will match it. Sign up for Hawaiian Airlines text/email deals, or follow Clark Howard to give you a heads up.
Here are some of the latest flights on sale that I was emailed today, 01/07/24:
Prices can obviously change anytime so keep an eye out for the notification. Keep in mind that you can book a flight and cancel any time before 24 hours to hold the price. CHECK WITH AIRLINE FIRST!
Depending on the island, prices can vary for hotels, Airbnb, or hostels, depending on how you roll. You can check on my Kona, HI, and Fishing post, Honolulu post, or Kona post, as they will help you find a place to stay if you want something budget-friendly. I pay ~$35 a night on all islands, single occupancy!
You can also send me a WhatsApp or Gmail from the home screen, and I can help look.

If you’re thinking, where do I stay when I get there, NorthAmericanDarell, I have you covered!
This is the single occupancy Airbnb I have stayed in three times in Honolulu, as blogged here: If you need double occupancy, there are other rooms available in the same house. If you would rather spend $300-$500 a night or $7000 for a package, I can 100% understand. I am only here to save you money does not bankrupt you like travel agents.
I have also blogged about Kona, Hawaii here which was a bit of a shit show but still a good read on how not to Airbnb. Kona is still my favorite island by far, and you can go fishing for $100 a day with my buddies Captain Tom and first mate Sue.
Imagine catching a 300+ blue marlin, reeling for an hour while watching it jump during the fight!
It was a fishing dream come true, and I even took part in smoking my catch with an amazing crew!
Adda boy!
