Which days are cheapest to fly?
Midweek is where the Hawaiian Airlines sale shines. HNL to Los Angeles typically prices at $115 Tuesday through Friday and about $144 to $152 on weekends. HNL to San Francisco hits $104 most Wednesdays and Thursdays. HNL to Las Vegas is usually lowest on Tuesdays and Fridays. Tap a city to see every date.
Which dates should I skip in the Hawaiian Airlines sale?
Skip Thanksgiving weekend and the first four days of January. Those dates are priced far above the sale, and a few are already gone. Here is what I saw:
- Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 27 to 29): HNL to Los Angeles runs $679 to $799 and is sold out on Saturday, Nov 28. HNL to San Francisco hits $793 that Saturday.
- New Year's (Jan 1 to 4): HNL to Las Vegas is $884 on Jan 1, sold out Jan 2, and $888 on Jan 3. HNL to New York tops out at $1,053. If you are planning a Vegas New Year's, fly on or before Dec 25 instead.
- The sneaky good one: Flying out around Christmas is cheaper than you would think. HNL to San Francisco is $149 from Dec 22 to 25, and HNL to Los Angeles is $155 on Christmas Day.
What about the other sale cities?
The other 24 cities in the Hawaiian Airlines sale have some of the biggest drops. HNL to Oakland and San Diego match San Francisco at $104, and Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham, and Columbus dip to $206 to $212 one way, less than half the advertised fare. Some of the farther cities may route through a connection, so check the itinerary.

Should I use points or cash for this sale?
Pay cash on sale dates and save your points for the expensive ones. When HNL to Los Angeles is $115, burning points is a poor trade. When the same flight is $679 or more over Thanksgiving, that is when points can shine, so compare the award price on those dates before you pay.
This is a cash sale, not an award sale. A cash fare still earns Atmos Rewards points (the amount depends on the fare type), and charging it to a card that earns bonus points on airfare stacks even more. Not sure which card fits your family? Start with our best cards for Hawaiʻi residents, then check what your points are really worth with our points value guide.
How do I book the Hawaiian Airlines sale?
- Pick your city and a few dates. Use the calendar above to find the midweek dates at or under the sale price.
- Search one way from HNL on the Hawaiian Airlines sale page. These are one way fares, so price your return separately. It may not be on sale.
- Check the fare type and routing. Saver is the cheapest and most restrictive. Look for any connection before you book.
- Book before 8:59 pm HST on Thursday, September 17. Prices move during a sale, so if you see your fare, grab it.

Scottie's Take
Okay, this one is legit. $104 to the Bay Area and $115 to LA is the kind of pricing where I stop overthinking and just book. If you have been wanting a Costco run in Vegas, a quick LA trip to see ʻohana, or a spring getaway, look at a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday and you will probably land at or under the sale price.
My one caution: Saver fares are nonrefundable, so do not book "maybe" trips. And if you were eyeing New Year's in Vegas, fly out by Christmas Day and save hundreds.
