Planning a vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii can be fun, but it can also be tricky. A question that comes up often is how far in advance you should buy plane tickets for your vacation to Hawaii. The answer depends on when you want to travel, how much you are looking to spend, and your lodging plans. This blog post will discuss some tips for buying plane tickets for your vacation to Hawaii.
For domestic flights, the general guideline is:
On average, the best time to buy your ticket to Hawaii is between 21 and 121 days before departure, with the period between 40 and 50 days often mentioned as a golden rule.
This guideline is based on the best prices for flights. However, in our opinion, if you are looking to travel to the Big Island of Hawaii during the high season (check the previous blog post for specifics on the high and low seasons), we recommend buying plane tickets as far in advance as possible but at least a minimum of three months in advance. Quality lodging can be challenging during the high season, so we recommend booking lodging first and buying your flights after.
If you are looking to travel during the low season, you can usually buy plane tickets about a month in advance, but we recommend finding lodging as far in advance as possible and scheduling flights around that plan. Keep in mind that prices tend to increase as the departure date gets closer, so it is always good to book your tickets as soon as possible.
Here are airlines that regularly fly to the Big Island of Hawaii:
