Aloha ʻohana! This week we've got a JetBlue flash sale closing at 5:59 PM HST today, a Capital One Venture offer ending in 5 days, plus a perfectly timed 30% JAL transfer bonus that makes this the best window in a while for Hawaii travelers eyeing Japan. And for locals: a fresh kamaʻāina deal at Prince Waikīkī worth locking in. Let's get into it.
Deal 1

Scottie's Take
“Tuesdays and Wednesdays only is a real constraint — but if you've been eyeing a West Coast trip and can work with a mid-week window, 20% off base fare adds up quickly. JetBlue flies from both HNL and OGG to the mainland, so run a quick search with the code before the deadline. Don't sit on this one.”
Deal 2
Capital One Venture: 75K Miles + $250 Travel Credit — Ends April 13
Right now the Capital One Venture Rewards card is running its best limited-time welcome offer: 75,000 bonus miles plus $250 to use on Capital One Travel in your first cardholder year, after spending $4,000 in the first 3 months — equal to $1,000 in travel value for a card with only a $95 annual fee. And the timing couldn't be better: there's a 30% Capital One → JAL Mileage Bank transfer bonus running through April 30, making those miles worth even more for Hawaii travelers eyeing a Japan trip. Apply before April 13 →
Why this matters for Hawaii travelers right now
JAL flies HNL → Tokyo, and their business class is one of the best products in the sky. With the current 30% Capital One → JAL transfer bonus (through April 30), 1,000 Capital One miles become 975 JAL miles — nearly 1:1 — making that Tokyo business class ticket far more attainable. We walk you through exactly how to book it, step by step, inside the ʻohana.

Scottie's Take
“This is a two-for-one moment and one of the best windows we've had for Hawaii travelers in a while. The Venture card offer is genuinely elevated — 75K miles plus $250 credit for $95/year is hard to beat. And the 30% JAL transfer bonus running at the same time makes the timing almost too good to ignore. If a Japan trip has been on your list, getting this card now and transferring before April 30 is the move. Come into the ʻohana and we'll show you exactly how to book it.”
Deal 3
Prince Waikīkī: Kamaʻāina Spring Staycation — Ocean Rooms from $209, Resort Fee Waived
Prince Waikīkī's “Kamaʻāina Spring into Savings” offer is one of the better local staycation deals this season. Hawaii residents get all-ocean-view rooms from $209/night with the resort charge fully waived, 50% off self-parking or valet, a pool cabana discount, and a kids-eat-free program at 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar. The travel window runs all the way through December 23 — but the booking window closes May 18. Book at princewaikiki.com →
Key Terms
- Booking window: now – May 18, 2026; travel through December 23, 2026
- All ocean-view rooms from $209/night (single or double occupancy, subject to availability)
- Resort charge waived; 50% off self-parking or valet for one vehicle
- Pool cabana discount included; kids 5 & under eat free at 100 Sails with a paying adult
- Valid Hawaii State Driver's License or State ID required at check-in
- 72-hour cancellation policy; one-night deposit required at booking
- Not combinable with other offers or group rates; blackout dates may apply
Scottie's Take
“Prince Waikīkī is an underrated staycation pick — every room is ocean view, the pool scene is solid, and it's far enough from the center of Waikīkī that it actually feels like a getaway. The waived resort fee alone saves you $40–$60 a night. If you've got kids, the free dining at 100 Sails is a genuine bonus. Book before May 18 and pick your dates anytime through the rest of the year.”
