Finding Hawaii Flights - Advice Needed
Trying to plan an extended family trip to Kona (KOA) and flights are of course pricey. Just wondering if any of the FT experts have tips/ideas that I am not thinking of.
Timeframe is flexible but needs to be mid-June to mid-August, going for 6-7 nights. Considering airports around Lake Erie or Lake Michigan (BUF, CLE, DTW, ORD, MDW). Will likely be 3 adults and 4 kids (age range 3.5 - 12) or 2 adults with 2 kids (9 & 12) and 3 adults and 2 kids (3.5 & 7).
We are checking WN (which currently only has schedule out through early July), Google Flights, and ITA Matrix. Generally seeing RT around $800-$1K per person which is higher than hoping. Would love if it were more like $500-600/person but understand that may simply be unrealistic, but any savings over what we are currently seeing helps.
Not opposed to doing a hop to the west coast if cheaper flights can be had from there, but not really sure if there are tools to help look at the wide variety of options. Also uncertain how much info I find via google is simply pre-Covid and not really relevant to the current travel times.
Not sure what I am really asking - just if anyone has any tips, suggestions, or tools to help me try to see if there are better options out there (or if we should wait to book until XX time before).
