Flights from Vancouver to Maui offer the best deal to Hawaii year-round.
The Aloha state enjoys warm weather all year round, making it an ideal destination to visit in terms of temperature. But it experiences hotter temperatures and less rain between March and September.
Following a devastating wildfire that claimed nearly 100 lives in 2023, Maui has re-opened to visitors, welcoming tourists to its powdery soft sand and tropical shores.
Flights at the beginning of June offer the best bang for your buck, with pricing below $380, even when booked directly through the airline.
But travellers who prefer to wait until after summer to enjoy the sun-soaked shores following Vancouver's rainy fall won't be hard-pressed to find low-cost options.
After climbing by several hundred dollars during the summer, flights drop below $400 again in September and stay low through the month and into October (see slide two).
When can I get the cheapest flights to Maui from Vancouver?
The cheapest round-trip tickets depart in the first half of June. For example, a flight that departs Vancouver International Airport (YVR) on Saturday, June 1 and returns from Kahului Airport (OGG) in Maui on Friday, June 23 costs $341 with third-party supplier Gotogate (see slide three).
The round-trip flight costs slightly more, $345, with BuyMyTrip and $372 booked directly through WestJet in its lowest fare class.
According to Google Flights, these prices are considered "low" or roughly $131 cheaper than usual (see slide four).
Travellers looking for one-way flights to Maui from Vancouver can also find jaw-dropping fares in June. For example, a flight that departs YVR on June 1 for Maui costs $164 through third-party Ly.com (see slide five).
Ly.com's price is lower than other third-party options but is based in China. If you have an issue with the ticket, you may encounter difficulties reaching an English-speaking representative. If you prefer to book with an English-speaking company, there are still multiple options for only slightly more, including Gotogate and BudgetAir at $168.
The one-way ticket on June 1 costs $187 when booked directly through WestJet.
