Kona Calling: Score a Hawaiian Getaway for Under $500!
Published on October 9, 2025, 9:55 PM
Hey awardtrail readers, dreaming of Mai Tais and volcanic sunsets? Listen up! There's a sweet deal popping up for flights to Kona, Hawaii. You can snag roundtrip tickets for as low as $483. That's a steal for paradise, especially if you're used to seeing Hawaiian flights closer to the $700-$800 range.
The secret weapon here is Google Flights (or ITA Matrix, if you're feeling extra savvy). Just plug in your departure city and Kona (KOA) as your destination, and play around with dates to find the lowest fares. Keep in mind this is for "regular economy" – meaning you will probably be charged extra for a checked bag and seat selection.
Why does this matter to you? Well, Hawaii doesn't often go on sale this dramatically. If you have some flexibility in your travel dates, now's the time to pounce on this deal and book that Hawaiian vacation you've been putting off. Think of all the extra shave ice you can buy with the money you save on airfare!
