Great summer deals to Hawaii

Hawaii used to be a luxury destination—not only was it expensive to get to, but the islands were mostly full of spendy resorts that could cost you an arm and a leg once you get there. Enter the recession. With far fewer people traveling at all this summer, nonetheless to destinations like Hawaii, planes and hotel rooms have been left partly empty, which has in turn driven prices way down. As a result of the suffering economy, airlines, hotels, travel agents, just about everyone is offering up some pretty fantastic Hawaii deals. I’ve even seen some prices so low I’ve taken a double take at the computer screen, unable to believe how cheap it is to go to paradise right now.
Once considered the more expensive, high-season time to travel, low season prices to Hawaii are hanging around well into the summer. United is offering a great sale on vacation packages to the islands right now—an unusual occurrence during the usually busy summer travel season. Hawaii is on Sale!
Exclusive rates at some of our favorite hotels. Hurry, book by 5/31.
The other great part about these giant price drops and all the money you save on plane tickets, is that everyday folk who once may have been stuck in a pretty basic room in Hawaii may find themselves suddenly able to afford luxury resorts—Travelocity is currently offering Flight + 4 nights at the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel for just $628.
Travelocity is also advertising an even more luxurious package at the high-end Maui Prince Resort for just $777/person for flight + 4 nights. Airfare to the islands used to run at $600 or more round-trip from the West Coast, so to see a celebrated luxury golf resort offering 4 nights AND round-trip airfare for $777 is pretty incredible. Gone are the days of Hawaii only being for Oprah and the likes.
If you find yourself on the Big Island, Expedia has a great deal on the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel that saves you 50% on 3 or more nights, plus a $50 daily resort card (hooray for free poolside Mai Thais!). Save half on a luxury resort AND get money to spend at the Hotel bar or restaurant? Score.
