How Much Hawaii?

My son has just graduated from college and before he settles down to a "real" job he intends to go to Hawaii and work on an organic farm. He will be flying from Seattle to Honolulu sometime between Feb. and March. He wants to purchase tickets now. Best fares on Expedia and Orbitz are with Northwest at around $475 RT. They quickly go up to $600-$700 dollars on other carriers He thinks that they will keep going up. I told him that there are usually fare sales right after New Years. Is $475 a good fare? Any thoughts on fare sales after New Years?

www.hawaiianair.com/reservations/
shows a sale of $459 1/8 through 3/12.
Suggest you also check out Aloha airlines website.

John,
Thanks for the tip. Hawaiian Air has RT Seattle - Hilo for $587 which doesn't seem too bad. I don't think that Aloha Air flys out of Seattle.

Sometime between February and March are peak travel season for Hawaii. $475 is a reasonable deal. The longer you wait, the more tickets are sold, the higher the price.

it is supply and demand- in the summer you can get fares for $250-$350 r/t but in the winter prices climb.
i would suggest he go to a council travel type agent normally associated with youth fares and other deals.
when i was his age i saved a lot of $$ on my flights with them.

Maybe I could interest him in trying out for the FD out here! The more firefighters, the better (for me)!

travleis,
Thank you for your eloquent remarks. BTW - it looks like JohnD 's suggestion of Hawaiian Air is going to work out - $564 with connection to Hilo.
