Search Hawaiian Airlines for most dates in August and several dates sprinkled throughout September, October and November for fares below $400 to Honolulu.

We found this itinerary for late October travel for only $321. This is the ideal time to visit because tropical temperatures have cooled and crowds have dispersed.

Mahalo!

Raise a glass of San Miguel to this price! Only $855 to Manila from San Jose (CA) on Korean Air.

Typically, flying to Asia from California from airports not named “LAX” of “SFO” will cost you over $1,000.

This deal was found or Orbitz.com. On Korean Air’s website I was unable to find this price.

So, get your barongs pressed and ready to visit Philippines on the cheap!

Taca Airlines, which last Fall announced its merger with Avianca to become the 2nd largest airline in South America, is offering flights from Chicago’s O’Hare to its hub in San Jose, Costa Rica for under $300.

In fact, we just found a flight itinerary for April travel for only $233 (see below). This is extremely cheap for an international flight of this distance.

Prices may be steeper on Taca’s site, so as always, search multiple travel sites. We found our $233 itinerary on Orbitz.

Mexicana and American Airlines are also offering sub-$300 fares from Chicago to San Jose through August.

Good luck.
