Hello Hawaii. Delta puts island passage on sale

Times have been tough in Hawaii of late, what with Aloha and discount airline ATA closing down. Both provided significant service to the islands. As a result, airlift to paradise has taken a hit. Now, some good news: Delta Air Lines is putting seats to Hawaii on sale, with discount airfares starting as low as $279, each-way.

Book and buy no later than August 22, and complete your trip by November 19. All the discount airfares we're about to quote are each-way, and they entail a roundtrip purchase. That's important to remember when budgeting your trip. So too is this: neither taxes nor fees are included.

There are some time and day matters you'll want to consider. These discount airfares are subject to a 21-day advance purchase and a Saturday-night stay. Travel Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays on these discount airfares - and make sure you book and buy at www.delta.com.
