Why now
$676 per person round trip, or $1,352 for two, is $269 below the typical fare on this route, a 28% drop. The fare also carries the Lowest in 30 days badge: across 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $676 to $1,027 per person. Mid-November is big-wave surf season on the North Shore, with humpback whales offshore, and it comes before December's peak family season and its higher rates. Typical highs are 81–82°F with lows near 73°F, and the seasonal normals show drizzle most days. Our budget for two, with the Pacific Monarch Hotel and $2,660 for spending, comes to $5,337. Prices are all-in as found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-history week at an easy island pace. Mornings go to a trail or the water, afternoons to Pearl Harbor or a food truck, and evenings to a walk around Waikiki. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm water and a few solid outings without a packed schedule. Seven nights gives you time for both the city side and the North Shore without rushing.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
When we checked, the round trip on United was $676 per person, or $1,352 for two, all-in. That's $269 below the typical fare on this route. It leaves Saturday, Nov 14 at 7:00 AM with 1 stop. American had the same fare, leaving at 8:21 AM and landing at 3:18 PM.
Do I need a passport?
No. Oahu is in the United States, so this is a domestic trip and you pay in US dollars. You fly from Pittsburgh International (PIT) to Daniel K. Inouye International (HNL).
What is the weather like in mid-November?
Typical highs are 81–82°F and lows are near 73°F. The seasonal normals show drizzle on most days of the trip, so pack a light rain layer along with the sunscreen.
Is 7 nights enough?
For Oahu, yes. A week covers Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay and a full day on the North Shore, an hour from Waikiki, and still leaves beach time. With a 12h 40m flight out, the extra days help.
What does the whole week cost for two?
Our budget comes to $5,337 for two: $1,352 for flights, $1,325 for 7 nights at Pacific Monarch Hotel and $2,660 for spending, which works out to $190 per person a day. Prices are as found when we checked.
Which hotel can I cancel?
Executive Centre in Honolulu, at $996 for the stay, offers free cancellation. Pacific Monarch Hotel and The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki, Tapestry Collection by Hilton don't, so check your dates before you book those.
