With summer behind us, are you regretting not getting in your island fix? Or wishing you could hold onto the warm weather just a little longer? Well, fret no more. The fall is actually a fantastic time to travel—in particular to the Hawaiian Islands, and not just because you'll probably get lei'd. Here are three things to keep in mind when planning your fall gaycation.

1. School's Back in Session

Even if you adore having lots of screaming children on an airplane with you, travel tends to be the most expensive during school holidays, making summertime one of the kid-heaviest times to travel. Once September rolls around and school is starting up again, you can expect airfare prices to significantly drop amid a collective sigh of relief among adults ready for some kid-free fun.

2. Weather Is Best

Fall is typically the time of year when weather is best in Hawaii. Not too hot and not too rainy, the temperate climate will keep you comfy day and night, with daytime highs ranging from the mid to lower-80s and nighttime temperatures cooling down to the mid-70s.

3. Pamper Yourself Guilt-Free

Did we already mention cheaper prices? Hawaii's luxury resorts tend to go by this rule too, making fall an ideal time to class it up while sticking to your budget. Check out Hyatt Regency's Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa for a Honolulu visit, the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa for a luxurious water playground experience, or one of the many Starwood Hotels & Resorts scattered throughout the islands.
