Nonstop flights could be found on Google for as low as $98 each way from Oakland International Airport to Honolulu.
True, you'd have to fly out of California.
But since Philadelphia International Airport would be much more convenient for people in the Philly area, you can expect the round trip flights to be a bit steeper, but not bad.
The drop in prices comes about a week after Southwest Airlines started flying to Honolulu.
