In the past two years they have gone down in May. I Think 911 costs the airlines too much business and I would hop on a $600 fare, that is a good rate direct into Honolulu but into Kona not so bad at all. What do you normally pay in summer. I feel lucky having snagged an $800 direct flight into Lihue. It fluctuates now between $824 and $930. Last year I only saw the fares dip down below $1000 from the east coast for one week in May.
I know I could have done better with a link in through Honolulu this year but for now I will feel like a N.S Kauai resident and just bask in the no HNL connection.

P.S $800 flight leaves from SFO not east coast. I am using a flight coupon from a trip I cancelled 9/14 to fly out to SFO from JFK.
Mkmlls. isn't Hawaii worth $600. I paid that from the east coast in 1993 considering inflation it probably meant to me then from the East Coast what it means to you now from the West coast.

Actually it was for Thanksgiving. I live in NYC and did not feel like indulging in this way (Paris) and waited too long and actually only had a choice of credit voucher and change fee.
Was incredibly handy though, like having a stock certificate only more valuable.
Great thing to purchase and set aside when you have money, use when you are ready to vacation it feels less expensive. All an illusion but certainly less painfull.
You are out in California yes? Do you know anything about cheap tickets? They don't seem to be offering great deals anymore. A friend here is having a heck of a time getting through to use a voucher she has with them.

Laura, be sure to check out the Hawaiian Air website periodically as well. They are adding flights out of Ontario and may offer discounted tickets at first. We got a great fare for June of $385 by flying out of Sacramento, not our closest airport, but because they just added the flight it was discounted.

Also try Pleasant Hawaiian out of LAX (service on ATA) and check the new cities that Aloha (Burbank) and Hawaiian (Ontario) are starting to serve. There may be introductory specials. You didn't mention when you are going. I've never paid more than $340 for a flight to HNL or $420 to any of the other islands from the LA area, but I usually travel between Feb thru June. Hope this helps.
