Where Hawaii fits

Hawaii gives you 8 months a year inside the 72–90°F comfort band with under 3 in of rain, which is why it works for travelers whose dates are fixed by school or work rather than by weather. Fares from Omaha barely move by season ($638–$782 to HNL), so it suits last-minute planners. No passport makes it the easy choice for families with expired documents.
