Tuesday, Twin Cities.
Three fares this week, soonest trip first, all checked Monday afternoon: Hawaii in six weeks, Vegas after the holidays, and a Boston nonstop in January.
🌴 MSP → Honolulu (HNL) — $543 round-trip
Fri Dec 4 – Thu Dec 10 · Southwest, 2 stops · about 13 hrs 20 min out
A week in Hawaii in early December for $543.
Google says the cheapest flights for this trip usually run $600 to $1,100, and rates today's price as low. The next-cheapest option on these dates is $751 on United with one stop; Delta's nonstop is $1,499.
Google also says the cheapest time to book this trip is usually now through Nov 18.
The catch: Two stops and a long travel day each way. Google lists a carry-on included but no free checked bag.

🎰 MSP → Las Vegas (LAS) — $127 round-trip, January

If December didn't work for the Vegas fare we sent two weeks ago, here it is again for the week after the holidays.

The catch: Frontier's basic fare. Google shows no carry-on and no checked bag included, so budget extra if you need either.
Book by: This week.
