How to fly business class to Hawaii for under £1500
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Every so often, Jack Sheldon from Jack’s Flight Club selects a flight deal from the UK for Independent readers that you can’t afford to miss. This week: return flights to Hawaii in business class for under £1500.
Anyone in the mood to spoil themselves? Business class flights to Hawaii will typically run you double this fare – much more so over the Christmas & New Year period! These flights are operated by British Airways and their American Airlines codeshare partners, and include lie-flat seats on the longest legs of your journey. While most routes will have short layovers each way, others have optional daytime stops in Los Angeles, so you can choose whether to explore LA for a few hours or enjoy your business lounge access and bubbly.
They won’t last long though, so be quick.
How to book
To search for the best dates on this one, I recommend going to Google Flights and entering your chosen Hawaii airport as the destination airport. Use a flight search filter to only select 'non-stop' flight options and then click on the calendar tool, which will highlight the best (cheapest) travel dates in green. Once you’ve identified your itinerary, you can book one of two ways:
1) Follow the link from Google Flights to book directly with British Airways, which will be more expensive, but will allow more flexibility if you have to make changes later on.
or
2) To save an additional £80-£100 or so, head over to a third-party booking site and re-enter your exact itinerary. They might offer it even cheaper.

Pro tip
If you’d like to go island hopping in Hawaii, you can easily fly into one island and out of another for roughly the same price. Just change your itinerary to ‘multi-city’ and select which islands you’d like to visit
