From the winding, waterfall laden roads of Hana to the postcard perfect beaches and bays of Kaanapali, there’s a reason why Maui is one of Hawaii’s most visited islands. It’s got enough variety to please every kind of visitor, from the adventure seekers to those just looking to relax on warm, golden shorelines. Offering nonstop service, Hawaiian Airlines is one of the only major carriers that can trace its roots back to the islands, and it shows with their award-winning aloha attitude that will get your vacation started right.

Flyers will depart from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) before arriving on the tropical tarmac of Kahului Airport (OGG). There are other flight options with short layovers at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) on Oahu, making it easy for visitors who want to schedule their departure at a specific time. And the flight into Oahu, is a sight for sore eyes as you pass world famous Diamond Head and catch glimpses of surfers dotted around the islands’ many surf breaks.

The best time to start looking for a round trip plane ticket is when you have time. Maui—along with the rest of the Hawaiian Islands—boast tropical weather all year round. If your schedule is open, be sure to look around at what seasonal events and festivals happen throughout the year, and you can use those as a general guideline for when you should book flights.
