Update: This offer ends tonight!
Save Up To 45% Off United Award Tickets To Hawaii!
With this sale you’ll save more miles if you have a Chase United Consumer card or Chase United Business Card and/or if you have elite status. United cardholders also get access to expanded saver and standard award availability.
Awards to Hawaii are normally 45K miles round-trip. Here is the variable sale pricing:
This promo is only available for United coach travel and is not valid with a stopover or open jaw award.
Theoretically, Turkish Airlines is the way to go for Hawaii awards. They charge just 15K miles round-trip in coach or 25K miles round-trip in business class! I had difficulty booking nonstop awards to Hawaii from the east coast, though others have had luck with HUCA. Note that Turkish won’t have access to expanded award space that United cardholders have access to when using United miles.
Promo terms:
- This offer for discounted Saver Awards is available to all MileagePlus members.
- Discounted Saver Award is only valid for roundtrip travel in United Economy from the mainland U.S. to Honolulu (HNL), Maui (OGG), Lihue-Kauai (LIH), Kona (KOA), or Hilo (ITO)
- Tickets must be booked no later than August 27, 11:59 p.m. local time of the first departure airport in the itinerary.
- Offer is valid for travel beginning on or after September 9, 2019, and completed on or before December 15, 2019
- Discounted Saver Award is combinable with other award types as long as the itinerary is roundtrip (e.g., a member can book a Standard Award for the outbound portion of an itinerary and a Saver Award for the return portion, or vice versa) but only the flight segments purchased with a qualifying Saver Award will be eligible for a discount.
- For this offer, “roundtrip” is defined as travel from an origin city to a destination city with return travel ending at the origin city, and with all segments on flights operated by United Airlines. A segment is defined as one takeoff and one landing.

Want to read more about Hawaii?
My love of Hawaii began 13 years ago when I posted and grabbed a deal paying just $87 for airfare and hotel. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to spend several months between the stunning islands, which each offer a unique and wonderful experience. You can’t go wrong with any of them, there are just 2 things is to be careful of.
1. Don’t get stuck in Honolulu. I’ve heard from too many people who spent an entire week and never left the city limits. That’s just a shame, they may as well have gone to Miami Beach. While I prefer The Big Island, Kauai, and Maui to Oahu, there is still plenty to see and experience on Oahu as long as you leave Honolulu behind.
2. Don’t try to “do” several islands in a week. If you just have 4-7 days of vacation then you should stick to one island. There will be plenty to do to keep you busy and it will allow for some time to relax. There’s no need to add the stress of interisland travel just for the sake of “doing” another island. With 9 days or more to play with, it does make sense to experience more than 1 island.
As for which island is best, read on and decide for yourself! If you ask 5 people you’ll probably get 6 different answers 😀
