The Big Picture
We found availability to Hawaii for as cheap as 25,000 points per person, one-way direct in economy. This is flying United and booking through United (or booking through other Star Alliance partners). Wide open availability through October 2026 with routes between Denver (DEN), Newark (EWR), Washington D.C. (IAD), Houston (IAH), Chicago (ORD) and Maui (OGG), Honolulu (HNL), Kailua-Kona (KOA), and Lihue (LIH). If the departure airports listed are not your final destinations, you may be able to find similar fares from your closest United hub.
Examples of routes:
- DEN, EWR, IAD, IAH to/from HNL
- DEN to/from KOA
- DEN to/from LIH
- DEN, ORD to/from OGG
United is a transfer partner of Chase and Bilt. If you don’t have Chase or Bilt points, you can likely book through other Star Alliance partners such as ANA, Avianca, Turkish, or Air Canada for a similar price. If you are booking through Air Canada, you may be eligible for the 15-25% transfer bonus from Chase through January 5th. The transfer bonus is variable depending on how many points you are transferring. With the bonus to Air Canada the price would be 20,000- 22,000 per person, one-way.
For example with the bonus:
- if transferring 1,000–74,000 points, you get a 15% transfer bonus (meaning you’d need ~22,000 per person, one way)
- if transferring 175,000–174,000 points, you get a 20% transfer bonus (meaning you’d need ~21,000 per person, one way)
- if transferring 175,000+ points, you get a 25% transfer bonus (meaning you’d need ~20,000 per person, one way)
All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers with multiple seats available on most dates. Expect taxes to be ~$6 per person each way.
