anyone flown from NC to Hawaii?
when?
where did you fly out of and into?
do you remember how much?
DH and I took a peak at prices and I've never spent this much on a flight before. I have no clue what a 'good deal' is on flying from here to Hawaii. we'd love to go visit our friends in October (5 days at their house, 5 days at a resort). They live in Oahu (HNL airport).
Re: anyone flown from NC to Hawaii?
I did in May 2008 - tickets were around $550 - which according to my friend who I was going with (her family lives in Hawaii) was very good (she goes at least once a year). We flew on Northwest - on the way there we flew from RDU to Minneapolis and then to Honolulu. On the way back we flew from Honolulu, to Seattle, to minneapolis, to RDU (ahh). She likes to fly out there really early in the morning and fly back through the night from Honolulu - just another random travel tip!
Oh - and we flew out on a Sunday and came back on a Tuesday - I'm guessing playing around with what days you leave and come back will help the price too!
Have fun - Oahu is beautiful - I would love to go back with DH sometime soon. (I tell my friend she should get married there!)
we did last spring for our honeymoon - we went from raleigh to atlanta, atlanta to la and la to kauai. on the way home, we were leaving from maui so we went maui to seattle to atlanta to raleigh.
i know one of the airlines now has a direct flight to one of the islands from charlotte. i would look into that if it's an option. it would definitely be a loooooong flight but worth it IMO with no connections/layovers and the chance to miss a flight, etc.
i can't speak for price since my FIL paid for our tickets as a wedding gift, but when i was looking at flights to tell him which ones we wanted, the prices were around $1000 at first, then dropped to around $800 pp. $450 seems like an awesome price, and $600 - $800 seems about average. good luck, it is BEAUTIFUL out there!
Chiming in (I normally post on the travel board) -
We flew from RDU to Maui in spring 2008 for our honeymoon. We flew American, RDU - Dallas - Maui, coach, $700/ticket.
US Airways flies nonstop from CLT to Honolulu. Since this service is pretty new, they may be running some specials?
