Why now
The fare is $686 per person, $384 below the typical fare on this route, which is $1,070 per person. That's 36% under, and it's the lowest fare we've seen on this route in 30 days of checks. All in, the trip is $3,962 for two: $1,372 in flights plus $2,237 for 9 nights at Days Inn by Wyndham Maui Oceanfront and its $353 property fee, taxes and fees included. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that number. Mid-November falls outside the peak-rate months listed for the island, which are June to August and December. The normals for these dates run 80–82°F with lows near 70°F. Nine nights gives you room for a sunrise at Haleakala, a full day on the Road to Hana and plenty of slow beach days. Prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a slow beach vacation with a few big nature days mixed in: mornings at Wailea Beach, one early start for the summit of Haleakala and one long day on the Road to Hana. It suits a couple or two friends who care more about warm water and an easy pace than nightlife. Nine nights leaves time to recover from the long flight and still get a full week of island time.
