Hawaiian has round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to Honolulu (HNL) for $304-$344, NONSTOP. Flights in October. Departures on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Very few extended weekends available. Origin/Destination reversible.
Note: Very limited date selection. Only available for the two weeks between October 23rd and November 5th, but it’s NONSTOP so it does have a premium to it.
Additional savings: Sam’s Club is selling $500 Hawaiian Airlines gift cards for $449 [linked]. You can save an additional $50 on Hawaiian Airlines if you travel often enough or with a big enough group to burn through the gift card credit.

Departures on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Origin/Destination reversible. United is starting to match Southwest’s sale that started a few days ago.
Note: The majority of United’s fares are Basic Economy. We have seen a few Main Cabin fares on some of these dates however.
United’s “Basic Economy” fares do not allow for a free carry-on bag. Only a personal item (like a small laptop bag) is free. Seats are randomly assigned for free prior to boarding. If you have the United Explorer credit-card, use the “free checked bag” perk.
The personal item size on United is smaller (9 x 10 x 17 inches) than Frontier or Spirit (8 x 13 x 18 inches).
