The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if

- Highs of 81–82°F all week, lows near 73°F
- Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki, rated 8 from 1,298 reviews
The catch: One stop stretches the outbound to 7h 28m, the normals show drizzle most days, and a checked bag is about $160 for two.
Worth it if you'll take a connection for $153 per person off the typical fare; skip it if you only fly nonstop.
Worth it if you don't mind one stop. The total for two is $2,054, all in: round-trip flights at $808, 7 nights at Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki at $1,076 and its $170 resort fee, with taxes and fees included.

Why now
The fare is $404 per person. That's $153 below the typical fare on this route, or 27% less, and it's the lowest in 30 days. Across the 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $404 to $627. Mid-November falls outside the peak family season. The normals for Nov 14–21 show highs of 81–82°F and lows near 73°F, though they also show drizzle on most days, so this isn't a dry forecast. It's also the start of big-wave surf season on the North Shore, and humpback whales are offshore. For $2,054 for two, you get the flights, a week in Waikiki and the resort fee. A checked bag, about $160 for two, and spending money are on top. These prices are what we found on our last check, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-city week with history and nature mixed in. You could spend mornings on Diamond Head or at Pearl Harbor, afternoons in the water off Waikiki, and one day up on the North Shore. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm weather, walkable streets and an easy pace, with nightlife on foot if you want it. With seven nights, there's no need to rush.
