We all know Hawaii is hot this summer, and now it’s even less expensive to get there with discounted flights from Hawaiian Airlines, which is offering one-way fares from $81 (plus $5.60 in taxes and fees) through June 16.
The fares are good for economy travel Mondays through Thursdays from Sept. 15 through Nov. 3, 2021.
This offer comes on the heels of Southwest’s 50% off fare sale, which can also be applied to some Hawaii flights.

Airline: Hawaiian Airlines
Routes: between HNL/OGG/SAN/SFO/LAX/OAK and more
Cost: from $81 one-way
Dates: Book by June 16, 2021, for travel between September 15 and November 3, 2021
Pay With: The Platinum Card® from American Express (5x on airfare booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel ; earn 5x points on up to $500,000 on these purchases per calendar year), Citi Prestige® Card (5x on airfare), Citi Premier® Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve (3x on air travel), American Express® Gold Card (3x on airfare when booked directly with the airline) or Chase Sapphire Preferred Card (2x on travel)
The information for the Citi Prestige Card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
Here are some specific examples of flights that are available from Hawaiian Airlines:
- As low as $81 one-way nonstop between Los Angeles and Honolulu
- As low as $86 one-way nonstop between Oakland and Maui
- As low as $86 one-way nonstop between San Diego and Honolulu
- As low as $86 one-way nonstop between San Francisco and Honolulu
The lowest prices tend to be available early in the week, particularly in late September and October. Given that the lowest fares will run you between 20,000 and 30,000 miles, we think it’s best to take advantage of these savings with cash instead. Some examples are below.
With new Southwest Hawaii routes available this summer, pricing for flights to the islands is extra competitive. (But be aware that Hawaii’s COVID-19 requirements could make travel cumbersome.)
