Cheap flights to Honolulu

The Honolulu International Airport is the main air transportation hub in the area, hosting both domestic and international flights but also acting as an infrastructure asset for the nearby military Hickam Air Force base. You might think of it as a small island airport, but HNL, as its airport code spells, is actually quite packed with amenities: ranging from roughly 30 crowd-favorite snack bars, coffee shops and restaurants to pretty much anything else you’d expect out of a large airport (flower shop, gift shops, game rooms, shoe shines, etc), the Honolulu International Airport has it all.

Truth is, even though there are plenty of connections to Hawaii in the United States, your best bet to get a cheap flight to Honolulu is from Los Angeles, the closest and most important airport you could fly from. Being a holiday destination, Honolulu ticket prices can suffer dramatic changes on a month to month basis. For example, whereas you could get a budget deal of around $300 from Los Angeles to Honolulu in January, expect to pay double that amount if you’re travelling in July-August. The table shows a list of prices on this route in the next 12 months, from what we found to be the cheapest deals to Honolulu when comparing the top travel websites around. If you want to benefit from these budget deals, it’s probably best to plan ahead and buy the tickets early on, otherwise you might see them increase as summer sets in and the airlines get crowded.
