Nine nights away

Honolulu & Oahu from Paris, Nov 14–23: $3,727 for two, all in

The verdict

Our verdict

Worth it, if

  • $1,031 per person, $100 below the typical fare on this route
  • Oasis Hotel Waikiki: 7.9 from 1,511 reviews, free cancellation
  • Highs of 81–82°F and big-wave surf season on the North Shore

The catch: It's 2 stops and 74h 25m of total travel time round trip, plus a checked bag runs about $160 for two.

Worth it if nine nights of warm beach and surf make a long two-stop flight worth it; skip it if you want a short hop.

Worth it if you can handle a long trip there: $3,727 for two, all in, covering the flights at $2,061, Oasis Hotel Waikiki at $1,439 and its $227 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. That's Nov 14–23, 2026, 9 nights, on AT + AS with 2 stops, not a nonstop. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now

At $1,031 per person, the fare is $100 below the typical fare on this route, 9% under the $1,131 median of our earlier checks. We saw fares for these dates from $1,031 to $1,275 across 12 offers, so this one is at the low end of what we found. In mid-November Oahu usually sees highs of 81–82°F and lows near 73°F. The seasonal normals show drizzle on most days, so plan for short showers, not a dry week. It's also the start of big-wave surf season on the North Shore, with humpback whales offshore, and it comes before December's peak family season and higher rates. Nine nights gives you time to recover from the flights and still get a full week of beach, hikes and Pearl Harbor. Prices are as we found them and can change.

The kind of trip this is

A beach and island vacation with a city attached: Waikiki's sand and surf lessons on foot, history at Pearl Harbor, early-morning hikes and a day trip to the North Shore. It suits a couple or two friends with time to spare who like an easy pace, with mornings outside and afternoons on the beach. Families fit Oahu well too, though this fare and room are priced for two adults.

Questions readers ask

Is it worth it?

For travelers with time and patience, yes. The fare is $100 per person below the typical fare on this route, the weather sits at 81–82°F, and November starts North Shore surf season. The catch is 2 stops and 74h 25m of travel round trip.

How much is the whole trip for two?

$3,727 for two, all in: flights at $2,061, Oasis Hotel Waikiki at $1,439 for 9 nights, and its $227 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag, about $160 for two, and spending money are extra.

Do I need a passport?

Yes, the data for this trip lists a passport as required. Pay is in US dollars.

What is the weather like?

Seasonal normals show highs of 81–82°F and lows near 73°F for Nov 14–23, with drizzle on most days and one overcast day. Pack for warm weather with short showers.

Is 9 nights enough?

With travel days on both ends, 9 nights still leaves about a week for Waikiki, Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay and a North Shore day. Shorter would feel rushed given the 74h 25m of round-trip travel.
