Im looking for a flight to hawaii RT from either JFK, BOS, or Laguardia, in May, after may 10th. Preferably for a week, but depends on price. So far I have found 397 RT including fees/taxes, but being a college kid I'm still trying to find cheaper. Please help! Thanks

Some ways to save:
Do you have a travel office on campus? Ask if student discounts are available.

Some airlines have coupons. Examples:
UA regularly sends 1 time use codes to email subscribers
AA offers 5% off via entertainment books (buy a book or ask for code in trading thread)

Buy airline gift cards at discount, pay for ticket with gift cards.

Check prices daily, sometimes fantastic deals pop up for a few hours.
What websites did you use in your search?

Specific example of currently available fare:
AA roundtrip for 1 week
depart 11am - May 10, 11 or 12 - Boston - Los Angeles - Honolulu - arrive 8:45pm
return 9pm Honolulu - Los Angeles - Boston - arrive next day 4pm
price today $344 - 5% coupon + taxes/fees = $384 (save up to $50 more if via gc deal)

Do you know anything about "frequent flier" points?
Sign up, register for promo, earn 10,300 regular + 10,400 bonus points for this trip.
With 21k points in your account you will almost have enough for a free domestic ticket.
Post, if you need help with this.

honestly sub 400 rates from jfk are pretty solid..i would just take it...either that or use the miles if u can get them....i wouldn't bother with priceline..cuz there are too many potential stop overs...
