This is being discussed everywhere, on every travel blog I read. There is an ongoing airfare war happening, and here’s another benefit for us travelers. United/Continental has dropped fares to rock bottom to Hawaii. Here are some sample fares to Honolulu (including tax, for a roundtrip ticket, available in either direction):
- SFO: $340
- DEN: $423
- ORD: $441
- IAH: $474
- EWR: $499
- IAD: $518
These fares will definitely not last long. Probably won’t even last until the end of today, 5/24. But if you’re interested you can search for your trip on my default search engine, Kayak, then book it on Continental.com. I would suggest you book now and work out the details later. Continental.com bookings also have the option for their FareLock, which is like a stock option. For my search EWR-HNL, I can place a hold on a ticket $9 which is good for 72 hours, or $15 for 7 days. It would be worth it to me if I wanted some time to think about it. So far, it seems these fares will last until 3/31/2012. Jump on them before they’re gone!
