Am I likely to see cheaper? Have you seen cheaper in the past? Since I started looking in July, this is the cheapest so far. Ussually, the "sales" are about $900 return.
Would you book this, or hold out?
EDIT:
I just checked Expedia, and Alaska Air can do Wednesday the 7th to the 14th at $647 ... so WJ's deal isnt that hot.
What price should I hold out for? I dont mind playing the waiting game.
Is Alaska Air ok to fly? I've heard to stay away from United within the US; true?

Hi Draug,
Airline prices are impossible to predict, but this December/January there were some really good sales to Hawaii, both on Air Canada and WestJet.
The best I saw was $388 USD all in to Kahului (OGG). There were some to Honolulu in that range as well.
Now Kauai is a flight that will always be more expensive. If there's going to be a sale to Hawaii, it's more likely to be HNL or OGG, not LIH.
All I can say is if there are going to be sales to Hawaii in April, you probably won't be seeing them until February/March.
You can have problems with any airline, but I have definitely had more than my fair share of issues with United! It could just be that statistically I've flown with them a lot though. Definitely do not ever get a flight with less than 90 minutes connection on United though, I've learned that lesson a few times.
