Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available.
When it comes to dream destinations, Hawaii is very likely at the top of most people's bucket lists. Whether you're a solo traveler looking for an outdoor adventure, a newlywed planning a honeymoon or a parent seeking a great vacation for the family, the Hawaiian Islands are a dream destination. Paradise isn't cheap, but you can save significant money on your Hawaii vacation right now thanks to a new fare sale.
Fares to the Big Island, Oahu, Kauai and Maui from cities such as Atlanta, Denver, New York City and Seattle are all discounted. We found some routes available for less than $200 round-trip. Most of these itineraries include layovers, but there are a few nonstops out of Seattle spotlighted below.
The best availability in this sale is from August through November 2024. Some routes do have discounted tickets from July 2024 through March 2025. These are economy fares on Oneworld partners Alaska Airlines and American Airlines, along with Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines. You get a free carry-on bag with all these airlines except United. Checked baggage will cost roughly $35 to $40 each way.
Some of the lowest fares spotlighted in this deal come from booking through an online travel agency.

Sample flights
Let's start with some good discounts to Oahu. For September, United Airlines has nonstop fares from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu for just $256 round-trip.
Alaska Airlines has tickets from Denver International Airport (DEN) to HNL in fall starting from $350 round-trip — a significant discount from the normal price.
You can also fly nonstop on Alaska Airlines from SEA to Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA) on the Big Island for only $190 round-trip. That's a really good price for this route. Once again, it's a September itinerary, so if you can travel during that month, you stand the best chance of getting a great deal.
Hawaiian Airlines also has nonstop flights from SEA to Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui for only $257 round-trip.
If you live on the East Coast, you have some good flight options to the Big Island.

Bottom line
There are many great deals to Hawaii this year, and some of the best prices are for travel in September.
As TPG has reported, Maui is open for business after last year's devastating wildfires. The island wants tourists to return. Remember to be respectful of your surroundings. The historic town of Lahaina suffered tremendous damage in the fires and is still rebuilding. It's best to avoid that area until further notice.
