Exploring Iceland and Europe opens the door to fulfilling cultural and scenic experiences. Iceland’s geography and wildlife seem out of a dream, with glaciers, waterfalls, sheep, and horses. The canals of Amsterdam flow through a city steeped in tradition, from 17th-century artwork to old-world recipes like pannenkoeken (Dutch pancakes). London offers architectural classics like Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.

During the sale, fares are 30% off from East Coast airports to select destinations so that you can save money on hotels, meals, and more. Here’s where you can fly out of and where you can venture.

Hawaiian Airlines will discontinue this nonstop route to the mainland

Hawaiian Airlines will discontinue route to Austin, Texas

Honolulu, Hawaii

Next year, Hawaiian Airlines will end its nonstop flight from Honolulu to Austin, Texas. The last trip will occur on March 26, 2025, with a gradual ramping down until then. The airline launched the route in April 2021, looking to seize on Austin’s tech hub status and interest in Hawaii travel. The cancellation reflects a lack of popularity and Hawaiian’s further integration with Alaska Airlines post-merger.

Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines recently joined forces and will integrate and optimize their offerings. Part of that is fine-tuning routes and schedules, leading to the cancellation of the Honolulu to Austin flight. At the moment, the route operates three times per week aboard an Airbus A330-200. In January, that decreases to twice per week before ending on March 26, 2025.
