Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines are running a fare sale on flights between Hawaii and the mainland United States.

The sale takes 25% off certain coach fares. It’s set to end tonight, July 21, at 11:59 PM Pacific time (8:59 PM Hawaii time).

This affects two kinds of travelers. If you’re planning a trip to Hawaii from the mainland, you may be able to book a discounted flight tonight.

If you live in Hawaii and want to head to the mainland, the same discount applies to you too.

The short version: if a Hawaii trip was already on your radar for late summer or fall, tonight is worth a quick look.

What This Means for Your Hawaii Trip

This sale covers flights operated by Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines between Hawaii and the mainland U.S., including Alaska state. It does not apply to interisland flights within Hawaii.

Travel dates run from August 18 through December 15, 2026, with a few blackout dates excluded (more on that below).

If your trip already falls in that window, this is a real chance to save. If it doesn’t, there’s no reason to shift your dates just to catch a sale.

Do You Need to Book the Hawaiian Airlines Sale Tonight?

Yes, if you want this specific discount. The booking window closes tonight, July 21, by 11:59 PM Pacific time. After that, the fare goes back to its regular price.

Which Flights Qualify

The discount applies to flights operated by Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, plus flights run on Alaska’s behalf by Horizon Air or SkyWest. It does not apply to codeshare flights.

One detail is easy to miss: qualifying flights need to depart between 2:00 PM and 6:59 AM local time. Early morning, evening, and overnight departures qualify. Midday flights generally don’t.

Blackout Dates to Know

A few dates are excluded from the discount on each side of the trip.

Direction Blackout dates (2026)
To Hawaii Sept 4; Oct 8–12; Nov 20–22
From Hawaii Sept 7; Sept 12–13; Oct 11–13; Nov 28–30

Fare sale terms can shift, so double-check exact dates on the airline’s site before you buy.

What Travelers Should Not Worry About

If tonight’s deadline passes and you miss it, you haven’t missed your only chance to fly to Hawaii for less.

Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines have run several fare sales already this summer, and more tend to follow into the fall.

This isn’t a sign of trouble with either airline. It’s a normal part of how airlines fill seats during slower travel weeks.

What to Check Before You Book

A few things are worth confirming before you enter payment information:

  • Your travel dates fall between August 18 and December 15, 2026, and outside the blackout dates above
  • Your flight departs between 2:00 PM and 6:59 AM local time
  • You’re booking directly through the airline, not a third-party reseller
  • You’re comfortable with the fare’s change and refund rules, since canceling a discounted ticket forfeits the discount

Traveler Tip: What to Do Next

If your Hawaii trip already fits this sale’s window, tonight is a reasonable time to check fares. If it doesn’t fit, don’t feel pressured to move your dates just to catch a discount.

Keep the Best Time to Visit Hawaii Guide handy while you plan, and check Interisland Flights in Hawaii if you’ll need to hop between islands once you land.

Hawaiian Airlines also recently joined the Oneworld alliance, which opens up more booking options if your trip includes stops beyond Hawaii.
