Hawaii: €1,606 Oneworld Business Class from Budapest

Oneworld members American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways and Finnair are teaming up to bring you discounted business class flights from Budapest to Hawaii, starting at HUF 648,400 (~€1,658). All flights include two layovers – one in Europe and one in North America. You can fly at this price between December 2022 and May 2023.

You can book the following example trips:

• To Honolulu at HUF 649,200 (~€1,660)
• To Kahului at HUF 648,400 (~€1,658)

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest fare for trips up to 28 days. To book flights through the AA website, you can use Google Flights or our flight search tool. You need to book at least 180 days before the departure to get the lowest fare.

All itineraries feature at least two stops, one in Europe and one in North America. Sadly, only the transatlantic passage is guaranteed to feature a proper lie-flat-business class seat. Flights between the Pacific Coast and Hawaii are almost always domestic first class, so you would spend six hours in a recliner seat. If you want to spend your trip to Hawaii in a long-haul business cabin, you have to look for routings via Dallas (DFW).

Search & Book

The fare rules give no expiration date for this deal. Since prices fluctuate heavily on these routes, you’re better off being decisive. A minimum stay of six days applies, or at least one night from Saturday to Sunday. You can travel there on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and back on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. You need to book at least 180 days before the departure to get the lowest fare.

If you’re looking for specific flight dates or want to check general availability, you can use Google Flights (instructions). If you’d like to customize your journey to include specific flights, you could also use the ITA Matrix. You can add layovers in different US cities (Dallas, New York, Los Angeles etc) either to get more miles/tier points or to fly on a better product.

The easiest option, however, is using our calendar above, which will redirect you to British Airways’ booking site.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

The tickets are issued in booking class I. Due to the long travel distance, you can earn a decent amount of miles. This example covers a basic itinerary booked through BA:

Since there are so many possible layover and carrier to choose from, we recommend using our mileage calculator for your personal itinerary:

Destination

Hotels in Honolulu can be as cheap as €50, depending on the hotel category and the dates. Whichever category and hotel you opt for, make sure to get the best price! Our recommendation is searching on booking.com, or even on our own Travel-Dealz hotel search:

Information & Tips for USA

The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.

The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
