Hawaii Airfare - Maui

Hawaii airfare to Maui (OGG is the Kahului airport code) is not cheap, but you can use this page to save money on your flight.

Since the controversial Hawaii Superferry declared bankruptcy in 2009, travel between the islands is mostly by air.

Maui Airfare -
Direct to Maui vs. Via Honolulu

Compare total pricing for direct flights to Maui, versus flights to Honolulu that connect with a separate flight to Maui.

Watching a movie on our portable DVD player during the Maui flightDirect flights from your home on the mainland may be cheaper. And they also save a lot of time compared to flights where you land and board another plane on the way to Maui.

But the relative price savings between these two options varies on a day by day basis, so you just need to check to see whether direct or multiple stop flights are best for you.

Maui Airfare - Travel Searches

Use one of the travel engines such as Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia. Most now offer graphics and charts to help you quickly discover how you can save money on your Maui flight.

They also offer Maui package discounts by booking your Maui airfare reservation combined with a Maui car rental reservation and/or Maui lodging reservation.

After You Land on Maui

• If you pickup a rental car at the Kahului airport, you may want to stop at one of the big box stores such as Costco (on the left just as you leave the airport) and buy some bulk priced groceries and drinks. We also get a bouquet of tropical flowers (very inexpensive!) that Irene arranges when we arrive at our room.

• As you continue on, note any gas station close to the airport. We use the Shell station just a couple blocks from the airport to fill up before we return the rental car at the airport.

• On the last day of your vacation, if your flight time is much later than your lodging checkout time, plan something like shopping (we go to Hilo Hatties in Lahaina and use their free parking with a purchase) or dining. Some travelers use the Maui Seaside Hotel (more of a motel!) - very close to the airport and less than $100 - for one night either when they arrive or before an early flight out of Maui.
