Why now
The fare is $570 per person round trip, or $1,140 for two, on Southwest out of Tucson for Nov 14–21, 2026. That's $328 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 37% gap across the 12 offers we checked. Prices are all-in, taxes and fees included, as we found them when we checked. They can change. Our full budget for two comes to $4,864. That covers flights, the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki at $1,064 and $2,660 of spending money, which is $190 per person a day. Mid-November is big-wave surf season on the North Shore, and humpback whales are offshore. It also falls outside the peak family season of summer and December. Weather normals show highs of 81–82°F and lows near 73°F. That's beach weather for a week of swimming, Pearl Harbor history and a sunrise hike.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-island week with some city and history mixed in. You'll spend mornings on Diamond Head or at Pearl Harbor, afternoons in the water at Waikiki and one day driving up to the North Shore. It suits couples and friends who want warm weather without a passport, and it's easy for families too. The pace is relaxed, and 7 nights leaves time for the beach and a couple of full-day outings.
