Flights
You can fly direct to Maui from San Fransisco and LA. If you’re coming from the UK, Heathrow to Maui is likely via one of these. Top tip – a return ticket to Maui seems to work out much cheaper than a single ticket. If you’re arriving in Honolulu you’ll need to organise a flight to Maui. Hawaiian airlines have one way flights between Maui and Oahu from $39 at the moment.
I had good luck with Kayak for tickets and flight planning. If you’re bringing kit make sure you check the airline’s policy. Ocean source has a good listing of airlines policies but it’s not always up to date, and of course luck plays a part.
If you’re flying to or from Sydney, JetStar seem to have the best deals especially for one way flights at USD $460. However they’re likely to be more strict on bagage than the non-budget carriers. I’ll post an update once I’ve tried them with kit!
