Round trip flights to Hawaii from Des Moines for $428

American or United Airlines are offering round trip flights between Des Moines IA (DSM) and Honolulu/Waikiki Hawaii (HNL) for $428. These fares are slightly lower than previous prices, providing a notable discount on travel during peak months. The deal includes one stop each way, with basic economy restrictions—on United, only a personal item, and on American, a personal item and a carry-on are permitted. There is no seat selection or change options, and no American Advantage points can be earned on American's basic economy fares.

The deal covers a wide date range from October 2026 to March 2027, with multiple travel dates available for each airline. Bookings can be made via Expedia, American, or United websites. Given the limited flexibility and the basic economy restrictions, this remains a solid fare for the route and dates, especially since prices for Hawaii flights tend to fluctuate significantly.

While not a dramatic price drop, this fare's price consistency and the range of available dates elevate its attractiveness for travelers seeking budget options for Hawaii trips at peak seasons.
