Hanker for Hawaii? Delta Air Lines is making the trip significantly more affordable, with each-way discount airfares starting at $229, exclusive of taxes and fees.

Book and buy no later than November 19 to get these deals, and travel off-peak days through March 11, 2009. In this instance that means Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. You’ll have to make a seven-day advance purchase, and stay over either three nights or one Saturday night whichever comes first. Here’s the most important proviso: even though these discount airfares are quoted on an each-way basis, you’re going to have to make a round-trip buy to get them. That’s critical to remember when budgeting your trip.

Book and buy at the Web site (www.delta.com), and take into consideration that there are blackout dates embedded in this deal: February 13, 15, 16, 20, 22 and 23, 2009.

Here’s a summary of the discount airfares Delta is offering:

- Atlanta to Honolulu $299

- Los Angeles to Honolulu $229

- Salt Lake City to Honolulu $289

- Los Angeles to Kona $259

- Los Angeles to Lihue, Kauai $259
