American and US Airways put out a very nice fare to all of Hawaii this morning.  Availability until MAY, 2016!

We found availability from:

• Newark [EWR]
• Chicago [ORD]
• Houston [IAH]

We found availability to:

• Honolulu [HNL]
• Maui [OGG]
• Kauai [LIH]
• Kona [KOA]

As an added bonus, this is a W class fare. For those seeking an American Airlines Platinum Challenge, if you start the challenge from Newark to Honolulu,  you would complete the challenge with ONE TRIP! The challenge is $250. So for $790, you can have American Airlines Platinum status until February, 2017! And yes, you can do SAME day turns with this fare. Information on signing up for the Challenge.

If you have miles and would like to upgrade the lengthy flight — it is 15,000 miles + $175 per direction. Although, the only flights we think the upgrade is worth it is the Dallas to Honolulu or Maui flight. They have angle lie-flat seat whereas all other flights are basically glorified coach with more legroom.

This is a VERY fast moving deal. Will not last. Do not dwell on it. Orbitz has a risk free 24 hour cancellation.

Update 7/13/2015 @ 2:52PM Eastern – American has refiled this fare. It is NO longer a W fare. It is O fare now. If you purchased this Saturday and Sunday, it was still W. If you bought today, going for the challenge is not going to work with this fare now.

Update 7/13/2015 @ 5:25PM Eastern – fare gone
