What time of year is best to find cheap flights to Hawaii?

I want to go to Maui - is it better to fly directly there or go to another island first? I'm traveling from the west coast. Are ticket prices lower in summer, winter - or are they ever low? Also, is there a time that isn't good to go to Hawaii? (like monsoon season or something?)What time of year is best to find cheap flights to Hawaii?
This is a pretty good time. In general, you're looking for a time that most schools are in session and the snowbirds have gone back home.



You may be able to find a relatively inexpensive ticket direct to Kahului, Maui, but there's a bit of the price war going on with interisland tickets, too.



This last February and March were record breakers for rainfall, but otherwise, there are no sort of annual weather inconveniences. The climate of the islands is such that there is more difference in weather on different parts of the island than in different times of the year. In other words, the windward sides of the islands and the mountains are often rainy and cooler, while the leeward side is often sunny and dry. That's why we have so many rainbows. It's more true on Maui than on Oahu because the mountains are taller.



In the summer, waves are pretty good for surfing on south facing shores, while the north shore is like glass, good for snorkeling. In the winter, monster waves pound into North Shore beaches, and the south shore beaches are good for snorkeling. Spring and fall are a bit of a transition. The humpback whales come to Maui waters to play, jump out of the water, breed, and calve from about November to March or April.



It is good for you to know that large numbers of stinging, box jellyfish tend to wash up on south shores of the islands ten days after the full moon. I saw plenty yesterday, for instance. So avoid those days for water recreation on the south shores like Kihei, but windsurfing at Hookipa should be fine, and there's always Haleakala!
There are no cheap tickets to HAwaii. The airlines rules govern ticket prices and they change based on how far in advance you buy. Each flight has a limited number of lower priced tickets. The sooner you book the more likely you can get a lower priced ticket.

The best time is end of April when school break is over and before May 15, when a lot of colleges get out. The fall after school starts after Labor Day until Dec. 15, excluding Thanksgiving. The first 2 weeks of Dec. is the cheapest as it is between the holidays and it noted to be the 2 slowest weeks of the year for all travel. Also, the first week after the new year. Jan-Mar is high season for snowbirds, Mar %26amp; April is for Spring Breakers.



The best way to get a low ticket is to either go on a charted flight or buy a package with the hotel included and then they will give you bulk airfare. A 5 night stay including air %26amp; hotel can be cheaper than just the air, plus you get a place to stay.



Check with one or two travel agents in your area as they always get faxes in from tour operators or airlines that have some very good specials going.
