The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $309 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki: 8 from 1,298 reviews, $152 a night
- Highs of 81–82°F and big-wave season on the North Shore
The catch: The United fare has two stops and takes 24h 25m out, and a checked bag is about $160 for two, which isn't in the total.
Worth it if a full week of warm beach days makes up for a two-stop flight; skip it if you want a nonstop getaway.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day: $2,588 for two covers the flights at $1,524 plus the hotel at $1,064, taxes and fees included. That's 7 nights in Waikiki, Saturday, Nov 14 to Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, flying United with two stops, not nonstop.

Why now
$762 per person on United, $1,524 for two, is $309 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 29% gap across the 12 fares we checked. Add 7 nights at Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki at $1,064 and the trip comes to $2,588 for two, taxes and fees included. A checked bag, any resort fee and spending money aren't in that number. Mid-November on Oahu means typical highs of 81–82°F and lows near 73°F, though the normals show light drizzle most days. It's also the start of big-wave surf season on the North Shore, with humpback whales offshore, and it lands before the December peak family season and its higher rates. A full week gives you time to get over the long flight and still fit in Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor and a North Shore day.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-island week with a city base. Waikiki gives you the sand, surf lessons and dinner on foot, while Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head add history and a morning hike. It suits a couple or two friends who like an easy pace with a few early starts, plus one day for the drive to the North Shore to watch the winter waves.

Questions readers ask

Worth it if you can live with two stops. The fare is $309 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates, the hotel scores 8 from 1,298 reviews, and highs run 81–82°F. The cost is a 24h 25m trip out.

$2,588 for two, taxes and fees included: $1,524 for United flights ($762 per person) plus $1,064 for 7 nights at Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki. A checked bag (about $160 for two), any resort fee, food and activities are extra.
How long is the flight from Memphis?
The fare in our total has two stops and takes 24h 25m, leaving at 4:23 PM on Saturday, Nov 14 and arriving at 12:48 PM on Sunday, Nov 15, local time. We also saw one-stop fares at $824 per person.
Do I need a passport?
No. Hawaii is a US state, so a domestic ID works, and you pay in US dollars.
What is the weather like in mid-November?
Typical highs are 81–82°F with lows near 73°F. The seasonal normals show light drizzle on most days, so pack a light rain layer. It's also big-wave season on the North Shore, with humpback whales offshore.
