Lucien (recording from Riyadh, mid-apartment move) and Hanna (in London, riding out an unlikely heat wave) open Episode 70 (!) catching up with each other. Between Arsenal's recent win of the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years, and the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, it is the year of Championship Hanaa. She lives within earshot of the Emirates Stadium in Islington, her son knows every chant and every stat, and the neighborhood has been in full kit ever since. Hanna is also headed to Miami this summer for a World Cup match, though she'd have preferred the Egypt v. Iran fixture in Seattle — her kids are still in school. And the wins keep on coming: On June 3rd, she'll be co-hosting the 7th edition of the Middle East Sports Investment Forum in London. Before the main segment, the hosts share a piece of listener feedback that landed: a message on LinkedIn, from a listener who said The Twenty30 "was one of the most valuable sources of information they had when deciding whether to accept a job offer in Riyadh." That's the whole point of the show, and the hosts don't take it lightly.  Then, Lucien does a deep dive on Riyadh Air. Lucien frames it personally first: he's taken six flights in the last six weeks, lives an hour and a half from Dulles in D.C., and values a direct flight more than almost anything else in travel. Saudia currently holds the only nonstop service from Washington and New York into Riyadh, which should make it the obvious choice — except that Saudia's in-flight internet on long-haul routes is essentially non-functional. He's been routing through Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Dubai instead, noting that all three of those hubs have been noticeably quiet during the conflict. Every time he boards, the thought is the same: where is Riyadh Air? The answer is: closer than it looks. Riyadh Air received its GACA operating approval in February 2025 and operated its first flight — an invite-only Riyadh to London Heathrow service using a wet-leased Oman Air 787-9 — in April 2025. The commercial launch has been held up not by Riyadh Air but by Boeing. Seven fully built Riyadh Air 787-9s are currently sitting at Boeing's Charleston, South Carolina factory awaiting certification, with an eighth still on the final assembly line. The first A321neo delivery is expected in Q4 2026, with the 787 Dreamliners to follow. In January 2026, Riyadh Air locked in Neo Space Group as its WiFi provider for the A321neo fleet — Skywaves connectivity, up to 300 Mbps, free for Sphere loyalty members — layered on top of an existing Viasat contract for the 787 fleet that was signed in April 2025. The internet situation, in other words, is going to be the opposite of Saudia's. Qatar Airways already has Starlink and Lucien describes it as faster than his home connection. That's the bar -- let all airlines seek to best it! The initial network was leaked via Airport Coordination Limited and shows 15 destinations: Amman, Bangkok, Cairo, Dubai, Islamabad, Jakarta, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, London Heathrow, Madrid, Manchester, Manila, Mumbai, and Paris. Washington, DC is not on the list :( Three of those routes — Madrid, Manchester, and Jakarta — would be nonstop firsts from Riyadh. Jeddah, Madrid, and Manchester were officially confirmed via Riyadh Air's social media on April 20th. In early May, the airline formally applied to the US Department of Transportation for a foreign air carrier permit with a request for expedited clearance — so DC may not be far behind. On May 19th, public ticket sales opened for the daily Riyadh to London Heathrow service launching July 1st. The aircraft will have four classes: Business Elite (four first-class suites on the first aircraft), Business (24 seats), Premium Economy (39 seats), and Economy. Hanaa flags premium economy as the sleeper feature. Qatar Airways doesn't offer it. British Airways isn't flying to Saudi at the moment. For families, or for anyone who can't justify business class on a personal trip, it fills a genuine gap. Lucien agrees — he's a last-minute booker and business class prices close to departure get punishing.  On the competitive landscape: Singapore Airlines announced four-times-weekly nonstop service from Singapore to Riyadh on the A350-900, scheduled to start June 2nd before being delayed by the conflict. That announcement read like a signal — Singapore Airlines effectively saying it wasn't going to let Riyadh Air own the premium international corridor into Saudi unchallenged. European carriers largely exited during the hostilities; Lufthansa pulled Lucien off a connecting flight in late January, rerouting him through London and adding a full day to his journey. British Airways still isn't flying to Saudi. The supply contraction has pushed prices up significantly on what routes remain. Riyadh Air stepping into this environment — with new aircraft, working internet, and routes that don't yet exist nonstop from Riyadh — is well-positioned (if it can seize the timing of this moment).  The workforce story is its own headline. Riyadh Air has received two million (two million!) applications across its hiring portals.  The hosts close the segment by zooming out. Airlines are structurally brutal businesses. What gives Riyadh Air a real edge, at least at launch, is route exclusivity and limited competition into Riyadh. As long as pricing is in range, travelers choose the direct. That simple fact, combined with Vision 2030's tourism and modernity goals, makes Riyadh Air something bigger than just an airline. King Khalid International Airport remained one of the most operationally open airports in the region during the conflict. The infrastructure is there. The aircraft are nearly there. Riyadh Air is coming. The episode wraps with a brief detour into domestic flying in Saudi — the Riyadh to Jeddah corridor, the high proportion of passengers in Ihram performing Umrah year-round, and genuine praise for Saudia's cabin crew and their quietly impressive ability to reshuffle seating at boarding so that women aren't seated next to unrelated men. Seamless, fast, and genuinely underappreciated. The one criticism of Saudia that neither host will let go: the internet!

Send us Fan Mail✈️ Miles&More erweitert die umstrittenen Light-Tarife jetzt auch auf Prämienflüge in der Business Class und Premium Economy. Auf den ersten Blick wirken die benötigten Meilen extrem attraktiv – doch die neuen Tarife bringen deutliche Einschränkungen mit sich: keine Umbuchung, keine Stornierung, weniger Gepäck und kostenpflichtige Sitzplatzreservierung. Besonders spannend: Teilweise kostet Premium Economy weniger Meilen als Economy und Business nur minimal mehr. Doch lohnt sich das wirklich trotz hoher Zuschläge und weniger Flexibilität? Wir analysieren die Änderungen und zeigen, was dahinter steckt.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1356: Today we unpack the million buyers who've quietly exited the new-car market, why off-lease inventory is finally rebounding (briefly), and how America's new “premium economy” is changing the way consumers spend, travel and shop.Show Notes with links:A million Americans have quietly exited the new-car market and the shrinking pool of buyers is raising long-term concerns for dealers and OEMs alike.Analysts say roughly one million prospective buyers have defected from the new-car market since 2020 as average transaction prices hover near $50,000 and financing costs remain stubbornly high.Pre-pandemic U.S. sales regularly topped 17 million vehicles annually. Now the industry is bracing for about 16 million sales this year with little confidence the old highs will return anytime soon.Instead of chasing volume with discounts, automakers are leaning into profitable trucks and SUVs. Selling fewer vehicles at higher margins has become an unexpectedly comfortable business model for Detroit.“I don't want to say automakers are OK with this level of sales, but they kind of are.” — Ivan Drury, Edmunds analystVolvo commercial chief Erik Severinson didn't mince words: “This is a real threat to the whole industry… people are not able to buy new cars.”The off-lease floodgates are finally reopening… kind of. Nearly 500,000 more lease returns are expected to hit the used-car market this year, but analysts say the glory days of leasing still aren't coming back anytime soon.Edmunds says off-lease volume is expected to jump nearly 26% year-over-year in 2026 with another 400,000 units expected in 2027 as the industry slowly recovers from the leasing collapse of the pandemic years.After 2027, off-lease inventory is expected to level off because leasing volumes never fully recovered after COVID-era shortages and rising prices.Leasing penetration peaked around 29% before COVID but cratered to just 18% in 2022 as inventory shortages and high prices crushed affordability. Even now, lease activity remains well below historic norms.Edmunds says the leasing slowdown is reshaping the used-car business because many mainstream vehicles no longer produce the steady stream of predictable off-lease inventory dealers once relied on.Ivan Drury: “Without a major shift in incentives toward leasing, we are likely to be stuck in this stifled state of leasing for the foreseeable future.”Forget the “K-shaped economy.” Some economists say America is now a “premium economy” where consumers can't afford houses or retirement, but they can afford upgraded flights, better groceries and premium experiences.More Americans are entering the upper-middle class, but home ownership and retirement still feel out of reach for many younger consumers.The upper-middle class has grown from 10% of families in 1979 to 31% in 2024, according to research from the American Enterprise Institute.Instead of buying homes, consumers are spending on smaller “premium” upgrades like travel, concerts and nicer retail experiences. Delta and United captured more than 90% of airline profits last year while Spirit struggled.Walmart has become a major winner by improving stores, delivery and curbside pickup, pulling shoppers away from lower-cost competitors like Dollar General.Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta predicts the economy could eventually shift from “K-shaped” to “C-shaped” as lower inflation and AI-driven productivity help consumer spending “converge” and be more balanced across income levels.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Michael and Marcus argue furiously over the merits and messages in the Albanese Govt budget versus Opposition leader Angus Taylor's response. Only one of them is right....Then Marcus burrows deep into Parliament House to find a phone to talk numbers with the Defence Chief Finance Officer. Result: a $14 billion cash bump for Defence spending over the next 4 years turns into a $1.2 billion reduction, like magic. Michael recovers from the shock of being kicked off Air Force One on its way to Beijing to listen in as a returning Donald Trump finds two buses to throw Taiwan under in his quest for a growing market for American beans. The episode ends with a trot through global demographics and the disturbing raw numbers on naval shipbuilding out of China and America. One nation is building a big new blue water fleet. The other is holding its breath saying it wants to. Premium Economy back to the SAA bunker can't land fast enough in this unravelling world.

Tonight on The Huddle, Phil O'Reilly from Iron Duke Partners and Jack Tame from ZB's Saturday Mornings and Q&A joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! Chris Luxon made a speech to a Business NZ audience in Auckland ahead of the 2026 Budget. He's indicated that this year's Budget won't splash the cash despite the ongoing global conflicts impacting New Zealand. Are we surprised by this? The idea of the All Blacks being downgraded to premium economy has been floated in order to help bring down NZ Rugby's costs. What do we make of this idea? Do they need to stay in business class? How can Waitaki District Council justify a 45 percent rates increase? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, I'm fascinated by this article in the New Zealand Herald, which argues the All Blacks should be forced to give up business class and travel premium economy instead. The reasoning is the cost of international travel has become so expensive that moving our teams in black around the planet is now costing nearly $87 million a year. Dropping them back a class on the plane would bring that cost down to $80 million a year and nearly wipe out the $7 million loss that New Zealand Rugby just reported for the financial year, which is great maths. But the idea is ridiculous, isn't it? I mean, you can't ask a two-metre-tall man like Fabian Holland to move down from business class. But even the shorter guys - you can't ask them to travel to South Africa in a few weeks, which is literally on the other side of the world. It's close to a full day's travel, even on the most direct route through Perth, and then expect them to get over their jet lag and start playing top-level rugby against the best team in the world. You're asking them to do all of that after they've been sitting upright on a plane for the entire flight. That's impossible. We sometimes disparage rugby as not being a “real job” when we say things like, “Oh, it's not that hard to throw a ball around a paddock,” which may be true - but it's still a job, isn't it? And when you're asking someone to fly that distance for work - not just once but multiple times in a season - it should be in business class. Now, there is an argument about how many people go on these trips and I'm happy to have that conversation. There are apparently more than 40 players and nearly 30 staff heading to South Africa in a few weeks' time, which seems excessive for a game that only requires 15 men on the field at any one time. And by the way, it's not just the All Blacks who do this - who take these enormous squads around the world and put them in business class. It's also the Black Ferns and the Sevens teams. But as for the idea of dropping these players down a class on the plane to bring them down a peg and save some money - I suspect there are people who will look at this and think it's a great idea. And that's the part that fascinates me. How many people out there like the idea that our best rugby players should be forced to sit further down the plane, just like the rest of us?

In this episode, Jeff reviews his experience in premium economy: he finds that it's more "economy" than "premium."Full lesson: https://plainenglish.com/lessons/airlines-try-to-split-the-difference-with-premium-economy --Upgrade all your skills in English: Plain English is the best current-events podcast for learning English.You might be learning English to improve your career, enjoy music and movies, connect with family abroad, or even prepare for an international move.

My guest today is Ari Emanuel. Ari runs one of the most influential portfolios in global sports, entertainment, and media. He oversees TKO, which includes the UFC and WWE, serves as the Executive Chairman of WME Group, and recently founded MARI, a new company focused on global events and live experiences. At the center of this conversation is Ari's anti-AI bet: as AI makes digital content cheaper and everyday work more automated, he believes the value will increasingly concentrate in live and physical experiences. He explains how he's building his portfolio around that belief, what defines a great live experience, and how he thinks about AI's impact on content and IP. Ari is best known as a dealmaker, and he shares the principles behind his success – relentless follow-up, over-communication, velocity, and an obsession with making things happen – and how those things become the operating system he uses today. If you're listening to this, I recommend watching the video of this interview. Ari's energy is constant and visceral, and gives a different dimension to this episode.

On this week's episode of AvTalk, we're joined by The Up Front editor-in-chief John Walton to discuss the peculiar nature of the Premium Economy cabin on Air Côte d'Ivoire's new A330neo and the wider issues with cabin certification across the industry. Russian drones enter Polish airspace, triggering a response from NATO and shifting flights further […] The post AvTalk Episode 336: No supernatural demonic force appeared first on Flightradar24 Blog.

If you're in a position where you can upgrade your seat for a long haul flight, there's still a debate to be had about which seat is better. Air New Zealand's Skycouch allows travellers the freedom to lie down on the plane - but how does it compare to the reclining seats in Premium Economy? BloggerAtLarge's Megan Singleton compared the two - and wrote a review on her blog here. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Watch us on YouTube! It's a big week for Bilt Rewards members. No, not because Richard is camping. Thank goodness he didn't add an RV component to Bilt Rewards. Not only did Bilt announce Qatar Airways Privilege Club as their 16th airline partner, they announced an unprecedented 200% transfer bonus to Accor hotels for Gold and Platinum Bilt members on Rent Day. Ed shares his first experience using TSA PreCheck Touchless ID since RealID has gone into effect. Hilton has hit 200,000 points a night at some properties. Is it worth it to redeem that many points for a night at some of these dream properties? POLL QUESTION: Should Ed fly home from Europe in Premium Economy or Business Class? Is Lufthansa restricting First Class seats on international long-haul? Points Path has data that proves otherwise. Lastly, Richard and Ed answer a listener question about Mr. & Mrs. Smith's hotels. https://thepointsguy.com/news/can-still-book-luftansa-first-partner-miles/ #biltrewards #accorhotels #businessclass #lufthansa #tsa If you enjoy the podcast, I hope you'll take a moment to leave us a rating.

What is it like to travel with a kid on long-haul journeys to Asia, from Singapore, to KL, to Taipei and more (and the secret bathrooms, which one would you choose?).  AF001, the Air France fragrance (only the French!). Should KLM talk to Korean about the new livery? (And where is the red? LH kept a Pantone code at least). The runways hidden in plain sight (we have one in Singapore, one in Switzerland). CDG T1 (again) shortcomings — compare that to the magic of Singapore Changi and the big bathtub plug at Jewel (Changi, where no one can hear your child scream!). Is Air Canada better than JAL?! (not everything coming out of Japan has unicorn status, you know). What is premium economy (a slightly better economy, or a business class minus, no airline seem to agree). When should service happen on long-haul flights? (Bad timing is everything).

Send us a textSwiss könnte bald ein echtes Business-Class-Erlebnis auf kürzeren Strecken bieten – inspiriert von der neuen Lufthansa-Tochter ITA Airways. Während Swiss aktuell nur die übliche “blocked middle seat”-Lösung nutzt, testet die Airline nun, ob sich ein Premiumprodukt mit vollwertigen Liegesitzen lohnen könnte. ITA Airways zeigt mit ihren Airbus A321 LR, dass Business und Premium Economy auf Mittelstrecken durchaus attraktiv sein können. Lufthansa-Chef Carsten Spohr deutete bereits an, dass Tests für eine neue Swiss-Konfiguration geplant sind. Wird Swiss damit bald neue Maßstäbe für europäische Business-Class-Reisen setzen?

On episode 96, Micah and Brian talk with Eric the Mapmaker about his receint trip to Italy on a new airline, Neon. Well, a new airline to us even though they have been in business for a while. But first, we hear from Listener Mike who joins us from the Airplane Geeks podcast. Mike writes in and wants to know about Premium Economy seating and how they differ between airlines. (Check out this article for more information. ⁠https://www.businesstraveller.com/features/which-airlines-have-the-best-premium-economy/⁠)  Listener subway Mark writes in about taking public transportation to the airport. Micah and I agree that it's a good idea, just not very convenient in most US cities.  Listener Lu wants to know our thoughts on people who stand up as soon as the plane lands and the flight attendant turns off the seatbelt sign.  For the main segment, Brian and Micah talk with Mapmaker Eric about his trip on Neos to Italy.  Well, there was so much to talk about, we had to break this up into two episodes... so check out the second part of the conversation on episode 97. The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. And if you would like to hear them sing live, get in touch with us at Brian@TheJourneyIsTheReward.ORG to learn about the group trip we are planning in late September or October, 2025. We hope you enjoy the show!

Send us a textDie Einführung der neuen Allegris Business Class von Lufthansa sorgt erneut für Schlagzeilen – und diesmal mit einem massiven Problem:1️⃣ Zulassungsprobleme: Die FAA verweigert die Zertifizierung der neuen Dreamliner-Business-Class-Sitze, da die Sitze entweder den Crash-Test nicht bestanden haben oder dieser noch aussteht. Während die Allegris-Sitze auf den A350 bereits fliegen, bleibt die 787-Version, die von einem anderen Hersteller stammt, am Boden.2️⃣ Über 13 Flugzeuge betroffen: Lufthansa hat über ein Dutzend Boeing 787 Dreamliner abholbereit – doch ohne zugelassene Sitze können sie nicht in Betrieb genommen werden.3️⃣ Kurioser Notfallplan: Lufthansa erwägt, die 787 ohne Business Class einzusetzen und sich auf Economy und Premium Economy zu konzentrieren. Ein wirtschaftliches Desaster? Höchstwahrscheinlich.4️⃣ Zeitplan verschoben: Statt wie geplant im Frühjahr 2025 zu starten, erwartet Lufthansa die Zertifizierung frühestens im Sommer 2025 – oder gar nicht, falls die Probleme nicht gelöst werden können.5️⃣ Weitere Herausforderungen: Dieses Debakel reiht sich ein in die Verzögerungen beim Boeing 777X und den Problemen mit der Allegris-Einführung auf A350. Auch die Tochtergesellschaft SWISS kämpft: Hier müssen Gewichte eingebaut werden, um das Übergewicht der neuen First-Class-Kabine auszugleichen.Wie geht es für Lufthansa weiter?Mit einem akuten Flugzeugmangel und wachsender Nachfrage muss Lufthansa entscheiden: Parken sie ihre 787-Flotte oder fliegen sie mit einer leeren Business-Class-Kabine? CEO Carsten Spohrs Aussage, dass die Business Class nicht der Hauptgewinnbringer sei, sorgt für Stirnrunzeln.Was haltet ihr von der Allegris-Saga bei Lufthansa?

In this episode, Mike and Angie dive into highlights from the week, notable travel deals, and the emotional rollercoaster of post-trip sadness. Angie returns from India, sharing updates on her upcoming plans for Slovenia and a possible return to France. Meanwhile, Mike prepares for taking his daughter to Taylor Swift's concert in Toronto, detailing his booking process and challenges with finding the right hotel. The highlight post of the week focuses on the Scandinavian Airlines “1 Million Mile Challenge,” a lucrative deal for frequent flyers willing to spend $4,000 on a series of SkyTeam flights to earn one million EuroBonus miles. The episode's feature, “Post-Trip Sadness,” explores the challenges of returning home after travel. Angie and Mike share their personal experiences, like tackling laundry, adjusting to normal routines, and grappling with the absence of upcoming trips. To combat this, they suggest booking or planning future travel, organizing trip photos, and finding joy in being home.

Lufthansa hat in München ihre neue Allegris-Kabine im Airbus A350-900, Modell D-AIXT, vorgestellt. Obwohl die First Class noch auf ihre Zulassung wartet und durch eine temporäre Economy-Reihe ersetzt ist, sind die Business, Premium Economy und Economy Class bereits einsatzbereit. Die neue Kabine umfasst insgesamt 267 Sitze, wobei 25 Prozent davon Premiumsitze sind. Die Business Class bietet diverse Sitzvarianten, darunter Doppelsuiten für Paare und Einzelsuiten am Fenster für Alleinreisende, die viel Privatsphäre bieten. Die Premium Economy, abgegrenzt durch Sichtschutz von den anderen Klassen, verfügt über 24 Sitze mit erweiterten Einstellmöglichkeiten, ähnlich denen der Swiss Airline. Lufthansa plant, die fehlende First Class im Herbst nachzurüsten und betont die Wichtigkeit von Selbstzahlern in ihrer Verkaufsstrategie.Frage des Tages: Bucht ihr schon Flüge um Lufthansa Allegris kennenzulernen?

Lufthansa Allegris -Kabine, die am 1. Mai auf der Strecke München-Vancouver debütiert, soll der Fluggesellschaft einen echten Vorteil im internationalen Wettbewerb verschaffen. Ursprünglich für 2020 geplant, verzögerte sich die Einführung durch die Pandemie und Probleme bei der Zulassung der Komponenten. Die Kabine bietet ein breites Spektrum an Sitzvarianten in vier Klassen, darunter vier First-Class-, 38 Business-Class-, 24 Premium-Economy- und 201 Economy-Sitze. Trotz Verzögerungen bei der First-Class-Zulassung, die erst im Herbst nachgereicht wird, soll Allegris die Kundenzufriedenheit steigern und den Net Promoter Score verbessern, der aktuell unter dem Zielwert liegt. Lufthxansas neue Kabine zielt darauf ab, besonders Geschäftsreisende und zahlungskräftige Privatreisende anzusprechen, die einen immer größeren Anteil der Passagiere ausmachen.Auf Youtube auch in Bewegtbild: https://youtu.be/eFhe9vUKFnMFrage des Tages: Ist Lufthansa Allegris die grosse Wurf?

Hawaii has been a popular choice among leisure travelers ever since the advent of jet airlines in the mid-20th century, and it's easy to understand why. However, in the year 2024, Hawaii is poised to stand out as an exceptional destination. Maui, in particular, is diligently working towards the recovery of its tourism industry. This effort involves striking a delicate balance, emphasizing respect for the recovery and rebuilding endeavors in Lahaina while also conveying that the entirety of the island is open for visitors.Lately, we have heard from eager travelers searching for those enticing last-minute Hawaii getaways. But here's the thing, Hawaii doesn't quite follow the same rules as other typical vacation spots. While you might stumble upon seemingly low airfare, it often comes with a set of restrictions and, more often than not, coincides with a period when everything else is priced significantly higher – we're talking about hotel rooms and more. Airfare to Hawaii Pitfalls I've noticed that those who plan for a long weekend getaway to our beautiful islands are often taken aback by the sticker shock when they start browsing for hotel accommodations. Hawaii's allure may come at a price that surprises the unprepared traveler. Other destinations across the Aloha State are facing similar challenges. They are grappling with ensuring that tourism contributes positively to the local economy without negatively impacting the communities where residents live and work. Despite these challenges, it's important to note that tourism remains Hawaii's largest industry, and its position as one of the most coveted destinations in the world remains unshaken.Contrary to common belief, airfare to Hawaii can be unpredictable. Waiting until the last minute to book your flight can result in significantly higher costs. Last-minute fares often double, triple, or even quadruple compared to early bookings. Therefore, it's crucial to plan and book your flights in advance to secure reasonable prices.While many sources advise on the optimal booking window (typically one to three months in advance), this may not apply to Hawaii. Hawaii's airfare and hotel pricing dynamics are different. Booking too far in advance can sometimes be as costly as booking too late. It's essential to strike the right balance and not rush into booking too early. Remember that Hawaii's travel timing differs from other destinations, so relying on general advice may not be suitable. Be mindful of the unique considerations when planning your trip to the Hawaiian Islands. Airfare to Hawaii Prices Airfare to Hawaii can vary widely depending on factors such as the departure city, time of booking, airline, class of service, and travel dates. Here are estimated ranges for round-trip airfare from the West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast of the United States to the Hawaiian Islands: West Coast (e.g., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle) Economy Class: $300 to $700 USD or more Premium Economy: $700 to $1,200 USD or more Business Class: $1,500 to $3,000 USD or more First Class: $2,500 to $5,000 USD or more. Midwest (e.g., Chicago, Denver) Economy Class: $400 to $800 USD or more Premium Economy: $800 to $1,500 USD or more Business Class: $1,800 to $3,500 USD or more First Class: $2,800 to $5,500 USD or more.East Coast (e.g., New York, Boston, Miami) Economy Class: $500 to $1,000 USD or more.
