Already planning a winter escape? Then do yourself a favor and book a flight to Hawaii, where the temperate weather and white sand beaches never go out of style. We’ve found direct flights all along the West Coast to the Aloha State for under $100 — so what are you waiting for?

Flash Sale — Details

These fare deals to Hawaii come courtesy of Hawaiian Airlines and are for basic economy tickets, which don’t include luggage. You’ll want to be aware of this when packing, as checked baggage fees can add up. Because these fares are so cheap, we don’t expect them to last, so if you’re interested, you should book soon.

  • Class: Basic Economy
  • Routes: Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), Portland (PDX) to Honolulu (HNL)
  • Dates: January 2025 to February 2025
  • Rates: As low as $96 one-way

The cheapest rates we found featured nonstop flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL)

Best Ways To Book

These flights can either be booked directly or via an online travel agency (OTA). While OTAs can sometimes be cheaper than booking directly with an airline, it can also make it more difficult in the event that you need to change or cancel your flight. Still, if this is the option that you choose, make sure you use a card that maximizes your spend. The Chase Sapphire Reserve®, for example, will earn 3x Ultimate Rewards on all travel purchases. This includes airfare.

If booking directly with the airline, you’d earn 5x  Membership Rewards points per $1 spent with both The Platinum Card® from American Express (up to $500,000 in purchases per year) and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express.

We value Amex points at 2.2 cents apiece, so you’ll receive an 11% return on your flight when using one of these cards.

Final Thoughts

Why not spend a few days in paradise? With one-way flights to Hawaii costing as low as $96, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal. But you’ll want to book quickly because this flash offer ends on October 3.
