From Austin, Texas to Honolulu, Oahu

I did some airfare searches on Expedia from Austin, TX (AUS) to Honolulu (HNL) Hawaii to continue determining trends and prices to the Hawaiian islands from the mainland. (Remember, a hop to one of the neighbor islands will cost about $140 roundtrip usually).

I found general average cheapest prices of:

April - between $577 and $780
May - $477 to $650
June - $620 to $800
July - $706 to $831
August - $637 - $829
September - $577 - $633
October - $627
November - $602 - $731
December - in the 500s early in the month, up to 800s near Christmas
January - $577
February $750

These seem a bit high for Texas, but so far are following typical yearly trends, although nothing is going up too high for summer travel yet.

Note - This list occasionally changes. An easy way to check what airlines fly directly into whatever island you are checking is to go to a fare checking site like expedia or cheapoair and search for your flight. An easy to read table and a list will pop up with available airlines into your desired city. I like cheapoair for cheap airline tickets


Note - Aloha Airlines and ATA airlines used to be on this list but both have gone bankrupt and stopped flying.
