There are many great things about living in Canada. The people are friendly, the scenery is spectacular, and the opportunities for exploration and adventure are unlimited. One thing that’s not-so-great, however, is the long, sometimes brutal, cold season. Fortunately, we have just the fix for your winter blues. A spring trip to the warm sunshine and sandy beaches of Hawaii will lift your spirits and get you ready for summer.
You may have heard that flying to Hawaii is expensive. Sometimes that’s true. But, as with so many things in life, a little knowledge can save you a lot of money.
With that in mind, here are some little-known secrets that will allow you to save big money on your spring Hawaiian vacation.
When to Go
Hawaii is especially crowded with visitors during the holiday season. Immediately after New Year’s, however, tourism tapers off, creating some outstanding deals for those trying to score cheap flights. January through mid-February is known as “snowbird season.”
You can sometimes find seats for as low as $300 US per person during this time. From the middle of February to mid-March is also an incredible time for bargains. If you miss this window of opportunity, then we recommend trying to book a flight from April 11 through June 9, especially if you’ll be traveling during 2016.
When to Buy
For a spring 2016 trip, buy your tickets as early as possible. If this is impossible, then you can try purchasing your fare at the last possible moment. While this strategy is a bit risky, it sometimes leads to incredible deals.
Where to Fly from
As a rule, the larger the departure city the better your chance of scoring a low fare. Air travel companies expect competition from these points and price their rates accordingly. So try to leave from a major Canadian point like Toronto or Vancouver. If you live within a reasonable distance of American cities like Seattle or Portland, then you can sometimes land terrific deals flying from these locations.
Which Airlines to Use
If you live close to the West Coast, then we recommend flying with either Hawaiian Airlines or Alaskan Airlines. While every major carrier offers service to Hawaii, these carriers specialize in transporting visitors to the island. Their specialized focus enables these companies to enjoy volume discounts they pass on to travelers.
