Honolulu & Oahu from Baltimore, Nov 14–23: $2,976 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $655 per person, $204 below the highest fare we saw
- Oasis Hotel Waikiki: 7.9 from 1,511 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 81–82°F and big-wave season on the North Shore
The catch: The United fare has one stop and takes 30h 23m on the way out, and a checked bag is about $160 for two on top.
Worth it if you'll trade one long travel day for nine warm nights in Waikiki; skip it if a 30-hour trip out is a dealbreaker.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day. The trip comes to $2,976 for two, all in: the flights at $1,310, plus Oasis Hotel Waikiki at $1,439 and its $227 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. That covers 9 nights, Nov 14–23, 2026, on United with one stop (it's not a nonstop), and a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
When we checked, the United fare was $655 per person. That's $204 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 24% gap across the 12 offers we looked at. Add 9 nights at Oasis Hotel Waikiki with its resort fee and the trip comes to $2,976 for two before you go. Mid-November is big-wave surf season on the North Shore, with humpback whales offshore, and it's ahead of the December peak family season and its highest rates. Typical highs run 81–82°F with lows near 73°F. The normals lean toward drizzle, so pack a light rain layer. Nine nights gives you time for Waikiki, Pearl Harbor and a full day up north without rushing. These prices are what we found at the time shown, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-island vacation with a city attached. Think mornings on the sand in Waikiki, a history day at Pearl Harbor and a drive up to the North Shore to watch the surf. It suits a couple or two friends who like an easy pace with a few early starts, like a sunrise hike. With nine nights there's room for slow days, too.
