Direct flight at low rates are available through Pleasant Hawaiian Air or Sun trips. Both have 800 numbers. United, Hawaiian,
Delta, American, and other airlines also fly into Hawaii. You can fly direct to Maui (Kahului -OGG), or with a stop in Honolulu
Oahu or on the Big Island of Hawaii at Kailua-Kona or Hilo.
http://www.orbitz.com and
www.priceline.com let you set your own price for airfare and rental
cars - if the airline wants, they will accept your price - you just have to be
ready to pay if they accept. One other point with Priceline.com is that they
will pick the time your flight will leave (you pick the date). It's a good deal
- I've used it several times when the exact time of departure is not a concern.
