The Cheapest Ways to Get to Hawaii
February 23, 2017
Hawaii is one of the best places in the world to visit, and judging by the number of inquiries I get about booking awards to Hawaii, it's clear that many people agree. There are a number of cheap ways to get there that I'll list in order.
1. Korean Miles Award: 25,000 Korean Miles and $11 Roundtrip, First Class 45,000 Korean Miles Roundtrip
Korean miles can book a roundtrip in Delta economy from anywhere in the United States to any of the four major Hawaiian islands for 25,000 Korean miles.
Trip Report: Allegiant Airlines Giant Seat
September 24, 2014
Monday I flew Allegiant Air in a Giant Seat, one of their First Class-sized seats up front, from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
Allegiant Air is a Las-Vegas-based low-cost carrier that survives by selling bundled hotel-air-entertainment packages, charging a fee for almost everything, and keeping its costs low.
It was a First Class-sized seat at an economy-class price.
How and Why I Just Booked Myself an Allegiant Air Flight
April 23, 2014
Looking at my travel plans for 2014, I realized I needed a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu in September.
I ended up booking myself a oneway flight on Allegiant Airlines instead of using traditional miles for the ticket.
I paid for the ticket with my Barclaycard Arrival Plus™ World Elite MasterCard®, and I plan to remove part or all of the flight charge from my credit card statement by redeeming Arrival miles for the flight.
