Fat Cat

Post by Beer Jew »

I've found fairly cheap flights for next year from London to Los Angeles - £633 return for two adults.

I'd love to spend a couple of weeks in Hawaii with my wife while were there. Sort of like a late honeymoon.

What's the cheapest way to get to Hawaii from the USA? Are there any sort of lesser known flights I can be on the lookout for?

Look for flights from carriers like Allegiant. For instance, a flight a few weeks from now (just an example) comes in around $275 US per adult for a round tripper from LA to Honolulu.

I've got a lot of family that's still back there and have probably flown 15 times there and back the last 20 years, but usually on miles, so I'm not sure how the cheaper airlines are for that long of a flight, but once you land, you won't care.

Assuming you reach dry land.

Amtrak through Ohio would be reasonable, depending on what browser you use.

My goodness, I am sorry. I saw this thread on my phone, meant to respond at a keyboard, and then dropped the ball. The truth of the matter is I don't know the answer. I use mileage plus miles from United Airlines that I accumulate with a credit card.

BJ, miles can be a terrific way to book flights. My wife and I did Brazil and Argentina that way. If you are going to do it regularly, it can be pretty involved (unless you travel for work or spend a lot personally or on business), but for a one-time thing, it's a matter of opening a couple of the right credit cards.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.
