Hawaiian Airlines has just debuted a new sale for travel between mainland U.S. and the Aloha State. Find discounted flights to Kahului, Honolulu, Lihue, and Kona from $278 roundtrip, but only through February 21. Travel is good March, April, and May.
When researching these fares, I found there was ample availability at the cheapest rates during the month of March but waned in April and May.

Alternate Fares
Hawaiian Airlines' Main Cabin fares are available for $30-$55 more each way. This type of fare will include standard seat selection during booking and also allows upgrades and ticket changes (fee applies).
Make sure to compare with other airlines such as Delta, American, Alaska, and Southwest. These carriers may start to price match this sale and could offer better flight times or expanded travel dates. Keep in mind that most other carriers do not include meal service on all Hawaii routes. Baggage fees are similar on all other carriers except Southwest, which includes two free checked bags.
