In the past it was easy and cheap to book interisland flights only one day in advance, or even the same day. However, the flight schedules for Hawaiian and Aloha have been significantly reduced in recent months. Also, neither airline is offering 'interisland coupons' any longer. Thus, the cheapest seats, on the flights you want, can be best secured by purchasing in advance. Recently when booking flights with Aloah I found that they still had set interisland fares (e.g. $69 o/w between any islands) but the price you paid ($69, $89, $100+, etc.) depended on how far in advance you made the purchase. You will not save money by waiting until the last minute, and you risk encountering full flights or undesireable flight times. IMO, you should book at least one or two months in advance.
