Remember when $591 round-trip used to be a good deal to Hawaii? Nowadays it seems that the "new normal" for flights to Hawaii is in the $300s from the West Coast. But, today we are seeing flights to the Hawaiian destinations of Honolulu (HNL), Maui (OGG), Kauaʻi (LIH) and Kona (KOA) as cheap as $277 round-trip.

But this deal isn't just limited to the West Coast. There are great deals from other parts of the mainland U.S. to the 50th state for under $400 round-trip.

To search, head to Google Flights and enter your origin and destination cities. Scroll through the calendar function to find dates and prices that work for you. Finally, click through to book directly with the airline or through an OTA like Priceline or Expedia.
