Quirky Fares LAX to HNL
I normally fly HA and UA (and formerly Aloha) from SAN to Hawaii. But, with the demise of Aloha and ATA, the fares are astronomical. I've been hunting for the best fares for our family spring break trip.
AA.com shows fares of $179 each way on some LAX to HNL flights (Jan through March 2009) and others jump to $708. The farthest out dates (as they come open) seem to start at $708, drop to $235 (and then I'm hoping later drop to $179).
We are hoping to plan a family trip for the first week of April 2009. Is there any pattern to fares as they are released by AA? It appears that I would be well served to wait a month or so after fares are released to see if they come down? Is that normally the best strategy? Thanks for your help.
