Reasonable Airfare to Honolulu??

Hi everyone!
My husband and I are planning a trip to Hawaii in August from the east coast (Charlotte, NC). Looking into the airfare, I'm trying to figure out what should be our "buying price". What I mean, is what is a good enough price that I should buy rather than waiting to see if the price drops more? Right now, I've seen $580 a piece. Is $550 an unreasonable hope? And does the price start to jump? I'm sure it does, so I guess I'm interested in when.
Thanks!!

$580 is a very good price from the East Coast. That will be about as low as it gets.

Agree with Merry. I'm headed to HNL in two weeks from PVD through EWR, and I paid $620, including taxes and fees. You may want to log on at very off-peak times to see what happens (i.e., 2 AM on a Wednesday night). I've done this a few times to pretty good results. Good luck!

Just a few days ago tickets from Asheville, NC to honolulu were $257 a person if you could go between now and end of May! I NEVER thought I'd see a price like that from the east coast. My parents tried to buy them but waited to long to make a decision, tickets were gone by the time they tried to book.

Thanks everyone! I probably won't wait too much longer, but we are FF addicts. However, after that ashville flight, I'm gonna look at a number of departure airports!
