Flights from Vancouver to Hawaii are some of the most affordable and convenient options heading south of the border.
Flights from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Kahului Airport (OGG) cost under $400 return depending on when you want to travel, and one-way tickets cost just over $200 direct.
WestJet and Air Canada typically offer the best prices on the popular route but travellers should keep their eye on baggage allowance before booking tickets.
Vancouver to Hawaii flights have fewer inclusions with WestJet in the lowest fare class
Travellers booking tickets in WestJet's lowest fare class may no longer bring carry-on luggage with them in the cabin.
On Tuesday, June 4, the airline replaced its Basic fare with the new UltraBasic one, removing the free carry-on bag for customers booking the cheapest tickets. They must also board the plane last now.
Vancouver travellers can get the best deals on one-way, direct flights from YVR to OGG starting in October and continuing through November. Prices start at $216 on multiple dates with Air Canada and WestJet (see slide two).
But travellers who don't need to check a bag and can get away with carry-on luggage and a personal item may want to book with Air Canada. Canada's largest airline includes a free carry-on bag with a checked one for $35 (see slide three).
WestJet's lowest fare does not include a carry-on bag and the first piece of checked luggage costs $65 (see slide four).
Round-trip tickets are cheaper with Air Canada in the fall
Travellers looking for round-trip, direct options from Vancouver to the Aloha state can find cheaper options with Air Canada.
Prices start at $360 for return trips with direct flights in November with Canada's flag carrier (see slide five).
