I am looking to go to Maui next April 2008. I was wondering if this is considered the low season to go there. I am looking to try to save a couple of bucks. Are there direct flights from Chicago to Maui? I am having problems finding any. Thanks for your help

1. United has a direct flight from O'hare to Maui on a 777. Flight 3 I believe. Took it two months ago.

   This April was slow enough that the hotels started offering deals (4th night free). Airfare from the West Coast remains below $500. Next April may be the same.

   As other have said use Expedia, Orbitz and similar sites to get comparison pricing.

2. The cheapest time to go to the islands is around March. It's the "slow" season. All that means is that is when less tourists go there. The season there is always great. As a matter of fact, the Winter season there (they only have two season) is the best for surfing…if you can handle it.
3. The cheapest way I have found to fly to the islands is to check with Expedia and find the lowest fare to Honolulu and then go directly to the website of the airline with the lowest price. Then go to Hawaiian or Aloha airlines and book a flight to a particular island and back from Honolulu. The prices for traveling between islands will vary from $19 one way to $39, much lower than including those trips with major carriers. Cheapest days of the week to travel are Mon. Tue. and Wed. usually, but take some time and check every day you can travel.

   Check out VRBO.com for a place to stay at greatly reduced rates from owners of condos, timeshares, houses etc.

   Breezenet will get you the lowest prices for car rentals, once you find the cheapest price go directly to the website of the provider with the lowest price and book the smallest car you can, you will usually be upgraded with no additional cost because the smaller the car the quicker is goes and if you are arriving in the evening they will more than likely be gone. If they aren't upgrade when you get there, just be sure to ask to be upgraded for free first.

   Anywhere you stay always ask for an upgrade when you arrive, it doesn't hurt to ask and you will be surprised how easy it is to get.

4. listen bro, I live their. get tickets 6 months in advance for october. no one relaly goes their for october.

   have fun…

   And remember not to pack valuables on suitcase, take them with you on carry on. - I would take this advice…

5. We went to Maui last year. April is part of the lower season. United and American airlines both offer nonstop flights to Maui. You'll have to connect on the way home either through Kona or Honolulu.
6. With Maui it doesn't matter the temp is always between 70 and 80 year round so I would just get something that works with your schedule. I used to live on Oahu and I found that when family and friends came to the Island they always purchase tickets and hotels on www.ytbtravel.com/gordonsa they said its the cheaps and most customer friendly site around.

   Good Luck and have fun.
