Aloha Low Airfares: Hawaii On Sale

Most every destination on the planet is getting more expensive to reach by air. Not so with airfares to the Hawaiian islands. A healthy level of competition means most are remaining steady, or, in some cases, dropping like, well, coconuts.

Currently, several consecutive air sales are on the boards. Unusually, these are not just from the big cities of the West Coast but from secondary Western cities as well as inter-island airfares. Here's a run down:

• Allegiant Air: For select dates in November and December (it varies by gateway), Allegiant is dropping fares to as little as $149 each way between Oahu and either Bellingham, WA or Fresno, CA. Fares hike $10 between that Hawaiian hub and Eugene (OR), Stockton (CA), Monterey (CA), and Santa Maria (CA).
• Alaska Airlines: Has one city-pair discounted on a sale that ends tonight! So if you live in Oakland (or are within driving distance of that city) and you wish to fly into Lihue (Kauai), you'll find one-way prices as low as $149 for non-stops. Again, you MUST book today.
• Island Air: Though it has no particular sale listed, its prices in the coming months have dropped to as little as $72 each way, a good 20% less than they were in the past. Island Air's inter-island prices are usually lower than rival Hawaiian Airline's rates.

 So why should you go to Hawaii this fall? I'll let this photo of Napili Kai Beach do the talking:
