when are you going?

I have flexible dates in June--somewhere around the 18th, returning around the 23rd. I am not going for pleasure, but for business so I don't get to stay very long!

You could try Orbitz, expedia, travelocity (to name a few)and based on the rates you get from them, check out the airlines website directly to see it they have a better rate (it usually will not be too much cheaper) I checked and right now average is 900+. If you are flexible with the times getting in and out of the island I would make a bid on priceline to get a cheaper fare. Hope this helps.
Good luck

$49!!!! Wow. I like the idea of Priceline. Anyone have any advice about how to get the best deal from them?

I found a new (at least to me) site called travelpapa.com that had some cheaper fares, but I wasn't checking Honolulu. I ended up not using them, so I don't know anything about the site.

since the rate right now it's about $900+, I would make a bid for about $520 (not too much more than that)remember that their may be a possibility that your flight may have more than 1 connection. Good luck,

I went on kayak.com for 18-25 and got 750 out of BWI unless you need a certain airport. Mondays going to Honolulu are not the best rate usually Tues and Wed and for returning Saturday is about the worst so if you can add a couple on.

I get good deals direct from Hawaiian Airlines, but I'm flying from Seattle.
