Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you're using The Platinum Card® from American Express, you'll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia's courtesy cancellation if you're unable to get the time away from work or family.

Tough to say if there's a direct correlation between Southwest launching low-cost fares to Hawaii this week and widespread deals to the islands on pretty much every other North American carrier, but we'll take it! Alaska, American, Air Canada, Delta, United and WestJet have all lowered fares to Honolulu (HNL), Maui (OGG), Kauai (LIH) and Kona (KOA), with a mind-boggling amount of cities across both the United States and Canada included on the deal.
