Market Update
When is the cheapest month to travel to Hawaii? Since the weather is nice and sunny year round you can save by planning your trip during the off seasons in the Spring and Fall. High season runs from mid-December through mid-April when travelers are escaping the snow and harsh winters of the mainland. The Holiday week of Christmas and New Year's is the most expensive time to travel to Hawaii. Flights, hotels and car rentals will all be at their highest rates.
In the Summer months travel will be slightly less expensive than during the Winter though the islands will be more crowded and there will be more kids. August tends to me the most crowded month of the year.
The two specific travel periods where you are most likely to get deals and special rates are in the Spring from Easter until mid-June and in the Fall from September through mid-December with the exception of the week of Thanksgiving.
There are always ways to find travel deals booking early and flying mid-week from an larger airport you're more likely to get a better deal. I've also heard that the best time to book your flight is on the Tuesday 6 weeks prior to your travel date.
Have a wonderful week,
