Travel Deal of the Day (June 18, 2007)

If you are traveling from the East Coast to Hawaii, fares can vary tremendously, but generally are anywhere from $500-$1000 roundtrip. Some people say that if they are going to travel that far and that long, they want to fly in first class. If you are looking to travel in first class, fares are usually much higher, starting at around $2000 roundtrip (not a deal). But competition has led to lower fares from the Baltimore area to Honolulu in first class.

The Deal:
Though many first class fares to Hawaii are $2000-$3000 roundtrip, airlines have chosen the Baltimore to Honolulu marked to offer more reasonable first class fares. Fares now start at around $639/way. Though this fare is much higher than coach, for a first class fare, this is quite reasonable. In fact, if you are traveling from New York, Philadelphia or Washington to Hawaii, this is the most reasonable fare you will find in first class. If you are traveling during the most high demand periods such as the December holiday season, the first class fare is only slightly higher than the very high coach fares offered by most airlines.
