With its beautiful beaches and tranquil waters, Hawaii is every inch of paradise that you’ve imagined, and you can find out for yourself with our cheap flights to Honolulu from Australia.
Honolulu is the largest city in Hawaii, so the ideal place to base yourself for a relaxing holiday to the state, but there’s so much more to Hawaii than just beaches.
Head further inland and you can explore lush rainforests, canyons, waterfalls and more.
There’s also a great deal of history here in Hawaii, especially as it was the site of the instrumental attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, which changed the course of history and brought the United States into the war.
There are also plenty of museums and cultural attractions where you can learn more about the culture and history of Hawaii.
Of course though, most people visit Hawaii to kick back and relax, with Waikiki Beach being one of the most famous, not just with sunbathers, but surfers too, which you can try for yourself if you fancy.
So if you want to experience the Aloha spirit for yourself, check out our Australia to Honolulu flights below, including first class and business class flights too.
