Honolulu & Oahu from Salt Lake City, Nov 14–21: $584 per person, round trip
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $584 per person, $47 below the typical fare on this route
- Typical highs of 81–82°F and lows near 73°F in mid-November
- North Shore big-wave season and humpback whales offshore in November
The catch: One stop and 20h 22m on the way out, landing 12:28 PM the next day, and no hotel is included in this fare.
Worth it if a full week on Oahu justifies a long connection; skip it if you'd rather pay $717 per person for the 7-hour nonstop.
Worth it if you can handle a long travel day: $584 per person round trip, all-in, for Nov 14–21, 2026, 7 nights on Oahu. The fare is on Alaska with one stop, with legs operated by Horizon Air and Hawaiian Airlines, and takes 20h 22m on the way out, leaving Salt Lake City at 7:06 PM on Saturday, Nov 14 and landing at 12:28 PM on Sunday, Nov 15.

Why now
$584 per person round trip, all-in, is $47 below the typical fare on this route, or 7% under, and it carries the Lowest in 30 days badge from our checks. That's $1,168 in flights for the two of you. Mid-November on Oahu runs typical highs of 81–82°F with lows near 73°F, and it's the start of big-wave surf season on the North Shore, with humpback whales offshore. It also comes before the December peak season and its higher rates. A full week matters here: after a 20h 22m trip out, 7 nights give you time to shake off the connection and still hike Diamond Head, snorkel Hanauma Bay and spend a day in Haleiwa. Across 12 offers we saw fares from $584 to $770 per person, so this one sits at the bottom of that range. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-island week with a dose of history and surf culture. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want warm water, an early-morning hike, a day at Pearl Harbor and a slow drive up to the North Shore for food trucks and big waves. The pace is easy: one plan a day, then the beach.

Where to stay in Honolulu & Oahu
We don't have hotel prices for these dates yet, so this fare covers flights only and the stay is up to you. Waikiki is the easy first pick: beachfront high-rise resorts with surf lessons, shops and nightlife on foot, handy if you won't rent a car. Ko Olina, on the quiet west side, has lagoon resorts, including Aulani, if you want calm water and a slower week. The North Shore (Haleiwa / Turtle Bay) has a surf-town feel and big winter waves, an hour from Waikiki, which fits mid-November well. Kailua is a laid-back windward beach town with vacation rentals. Downtown / Chinatown has the local food scene and history, with cheaper hotels, for travelers who'd rather spend on meals and day trips.
