Best time to buy tickets for September 2019?
I am thinking of coming back to Hawaii in September 2019. While 2 years ago I was on a premium ticket from Italy, this time premium ticket will fly me into LAX only. So I will buy a separate ticket from mainland to Hawaii. If I start looking now, the prices are rather ridiculous (too high).
The question is: is it too early to look into September tickets? Can the prices still go down? Does HA make any special prices for mailand during the year? How much should I wait to buy the ticket?
Thank you
Anna

$150 LAX-HNL one way tickets for September 2018 travel became available at the end of August. You’re looking way too early for next year September 2019 travel.

Actually, I do understand that it's a bit early to talk about next September. But on the same time I would like to avoid waiting for the end of August to purchase the tickets since I will book the cars and hotels
What is the fair price to pay for an economy LAX-KOA normally?

Agreed - I wouldn't book this earlier than mid-August 2019 unless something crazy happens with oil prices.....

Well, I will be travelling from Italy and I am a bit afraid to buy them THAT late.
I will make a question another way - what is a reasonable price to wait for for a LAX-HNL one way?
As a return flight I would like to arrive to SFO, from OGG perhaps.
Another question: is Labor Day weekend considered high period for travel in Hawaii?
