the prices to fly to hawaii range from $500 to $700 which i think ia alot and the flight can be a minimum of 6 hours and a max of 11 hours from the vancouver YVR. The most exspensive hotel (four seasons) is around 1,000 dollars and there are also some hotels that are around 100 dollars so the price range is really big which is a good thing and they all offer differnts things.
