Best Maui Airfare Specials

You may be asking yourself, "What are some of the things I could do to get the best deal on a flight to Maui?" Finding a good deal takes some planning and patience.

And chances of booking an outstanding deal overnight are very slim. So take time to check out your options and decide which is best for you. The following travel tips have helped us find the best Maui airfare specials.


Kahului Airport

When we arrived for the first time at Kahului Airport (OGG) in 1997, the scenery was like nothing we had ever experienced before. We've enjoyed every "Aloha" into Kahului ever since!
Most of our trips route us in from Oahu's Honolulu International Airport, where most of the flights coming into Kahului originate.

I remember walking out of the airplane and looking south towards Haleakala and couldn't help notice how green and lush everything was out in the distance. Kahului Airport


Stopover in Oahu

Don't be discouraged at all if your flight has a stopover in Oahu (Honolulu airport). A great Maui travel tip can include an enjoyable day or two on Oahu. You may save some money with the stopover and your time can be filled very quickly with a variety of activites before your barefeet land on Maui sand.


Traveling with Children?

Looking for some great ideas to help make that long flight to Maui with your children a more enjoyable one?

These ideas have worked well for us, not only on our flights to Maui but also on other long plane or car rides. We hope you'll find them useful too.
