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.

Yesterday, Delta launched an incredible deal with $247 round-trip nonstop flights to Hawaii. Today we're seeing more airlines match these prices — and the expansion of the deal to cover all four major Hawaiian airports (LIH/KOA/HNL/OGG). The cheapest prices are available from Los Angeles (LAX) and Seattle (SEA) while departures from San Diego (SAN), San Jose (SJC), Phoenix (PHX), Portland (PDX), Oakland (OAK) and San Francisco (SFO) start at $337 round-trip.

There are no tricks to find these fares. Use Google Flights to search for your preferred departure and destination and then book directly with the airline or an OTA like Expedia or Priceline.
