United operates these flights, and the price is for the airline’s basic economy fare. Unfortunately, this ticket class only comes with a personal item, not a carry-on item or a checked bag. If you want to check a bag, you’ll have to hand over an extra $35 each way.
The $70 total in checked bag fees will bring your trip total to $259 — still a good deal.
Texans can head to Hawaii for cheap as well. For example, flying from Dallas to Kauai is $363 — almost $200 cheaper than usual, according to Google Flights.
This will be a round-trip journey but with separate tickets on separate airlines. Luckily, each ticket comes with a carry-on bag included in the price, so you won’t have to pay extra fees.

Bottom line
If you want to soak up the Hawaii sun this winter, jump on these discounted flights quickly. There is plenty of availability from different cities across the U.S., so you’re likely to find a date, time and departure city that work for you.
