Under no circumstances should you ever book through a third party company like Expedia, Travelocity, and I hate to say it but even Costco. On that note, here are my tips:ĪLWAYS BOOK DIRECT. These tips are targeted towards finding the “best” flights which I would consider to be the flights with the fewest connections and best flight times. The cheapest flights are usually the worst and the best flights tend to be more expensive (but not always the most expensive). Note: For me, there’s a big difference between “best” and “cheapest.” And often, they’re inversely proportional.

If you can make it until 8 or 9 PM, I consider that a victory! Tips for Booking the BEST Flights to Hawaii Do not nap! Stay awake and busy as late as you can. Now if you’re trying to acclimate to Hawaii time…most flights to Hawaii arrive in the afternoon. This makes the transition back home a lot easier. This isn’t too hard on Hawaii as outside of Waikiki there’s not much nightlife. It’s easy to get up at 5 or 6 in Hawaii with the time change and since sunrise is so early, I like to get my day started early (a good strategy for beating the crowds at popular spots) and hit the hay pretty early (with the sun!). So, what’s the easiest way to adjust? Personally, when I’m traveling (only 4 hour time difference) for a week or less, I try to stick to my home schedule (wake up and bed time) as much as possible.

So your jet lag experience will vary greatly depending from where you’re traveling. It’s 2-3 hours behind west coast time, 4-5 hours behind Central Time, and 5-6 hours behind Eastern Time. Hawaii does not observe Daylight Savings Time so the time difference depends on the time of year. I will say, these are DIRECT flight times (my preferred method of travel), but the majority of flights to Hawaii connect on the west coast so you’ll be able to break it up. Now I have not flown directly from the east coast, but I have flown direct from Dallas, TX (8 hour flight) so I have some personal experience here. And from the east coast, flights can be 10+ hours (yikes!). From the midwest, flights can be 7-9 hours (hey, America is a big country and there’s a big difference between Denver and Atlanta). From the west coast, flights are only 5-6 hours (6 hours going, 5 hours coming home).
