Visiting Hawaii

What actually pushes a Hawaii trip's total past a mainland vacation: imported goods, hotel rates, scarce rental cars, and inter island flights, and which island stretches a first trip's budget the furthest.

• What drives the cost of a Hawaii trip up? Flights and hotels are the big two.
• What do people wish they'd known before booking a Hawaii trip? It's farther and pricier than you think.
• Which Hawaiian island is the most affordable for a first trip? Oahu. It's the cheapest to fly into and has the most budget lodging.
