Since I travel from Seattle to Kauai regularly and do not like to pay more than I have to for plane tickets, I have developed a strategy for getting good airfare. Since I have an upcoming trip this fall I have found that airfare for travel in the fall is as low as I've ever seen it. Typically airfares are around $500 round trip, sometimes higher for holiday times and sometimes lower when there are fare sales. I've just found that Delta and Northwest are offering round trip fares at $380 round trip. This is a great opportunity to go to Kauai inexpensively as it is shoulder season with hotel/condo rates low and few crowds.
Because this upcoming fall is a slow season, I am offering great specials on stays at Poipu Sands 124. If you mention this blog post I can offer a special rate of $185 per night which is significantly below the typical $235+ regular season rate.
My strategy for finding good airfare is to know the typical airfares, know the dates I want to go, check the airfares often and when I find a good airfare I buy it. To follow the airfares I check the fares often - sometimes every day. Kayak is great for this since it saves your search history and can retry the search with a single click. I've also signed up for air fare alerts from Travelocity, Expedia, Hawaiian airlines and others. By doing this I also get a good idea of what a good airfare is.
