Want to see the latest flight deals as soon as they’re published? Follow The Points Guy on Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to text message alerts from our deals feed, @tpg_alerts.

Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

This Black Friday, Hawaiian Airlines is advertising flights to Hawaii from $357 round-trip. That’s pretty good, but we found even more competitive fares starting at just $336 round-trip from west coast cities to the 50th state. Meaning, a slew of other airlines have matched these deals: Six airlines are offering round-trip fares from six west coast departure airports to four Hawaii airports for under $370 round-trip — and these probably aren’t the only deals out there.

Available dates for under $400 round-trip fare are available for departures from this Sunday through mid-May. We recommend using Google Flights to search for deals from your airport. If you aren’t set on a particular Hawaiian island, enter “Hawaii, United States” in Google Flights to explore a variety of destinations.
