The tickets that I recently purchased for my wife and me were $605.80. That's round-trip SEA-HNL-ITO via HA.
Suggestions:
1. Try to travel Monday-Thursday. Friday and weekend flights tend to be a bit higher.
2. Sign up for email fare alerts and special deals with your favorite airline(s).
3. When you see a fantastic fare being offered, don't hesitate to book your reservations.
4. Finally, make your wishes known to your favorite airline(s), especially new or increased service into ITO. Don't be shy about sending a positive, encouraging note. It may take a few weeks, but you will receive a response.
FWIW, the days of the insane fare wars are probably gone for good. Airlines are retiring "old birds" every month and cutting service (cities, frequency, etc.). If you haven't flown in awhile, planes usually fly with no more than a handful of empty seats, if that.
