Huge Hawaiian Airlines flash sale: Sydney to Honolulu from just $949 return
For just a few days, Aussie travellers can score return flights from Sydney to Honolulu starting at $949, along with major discounts on U.S. destinations like Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and Portland.
The flash sale kicks off at 6pm AEST on Friday, 15 August and runs until 11.59pm AEST on Sunday, 18 August. Once the clock runs out, so do the savings, which means there is no time to sit on this deal.
If Hawaii is on your bucket list, this is your chance to make it happen for less than $950 return — an incredible offer considering the usual fares often hover much higher.
From Honolulu, you can spend your days lounging on Waikiki Beach, hiking the volcanic trails of Diamond Head, or indulging in the island's famous poke bowls and shaved ice.
Not stopping in Hawaii? Hawaiian Airlines is also serving up impressive deals on mainland U.S. flights, with Sydney to Los Angeles, San Francisco or San Diego return fares starting at $1049, and Sydney to Seattle or Portland return fares from $1149.
Whether you want to stroll through the streets of San Francisco, road trip the Pacific Coast Highway, or explore the coffee culture of Portland, this sale puts it all within reach for far less.
Hawaiian Airlines is known for its warm hospitality, generous inclusions, and that unbeatable feeling of beginning your holiday the moment you step on board.
Return fares include meals, drinks and in-flight entertainment, meaning the only extra costs are the souvenirs you bring home.
It is worth noting that seats are limited, and the most popular travel dates tend to sell out first.
If you have flexibility, you will have a better shot at locking in the lowest prices.
The airline also offers connections from Honolulu to other U.S. cities, so you could turn your trip into a multi-stop adventure.
With the Aussie dollar fluctuating and cost-of-living pressures high, sales like this are a rare opportunity to tick off a big-ticket trip without the usual budget stress.
Whether you want a tropical getaway, a U.S. city break or a mix of both, this flash sale is the perfect excuse to start planning.
The only catch is that you have just a few days to decide.

Bondi Rescue Viking Edition: Aussies on Danish patrol
There aren't any lurking sharks or powerful rips to contend with on Denmark's Zealand island. Yet Australian lifeguard Sebastian Walker-Staalkjaer reckons it's taken a while to get used to another occupational hazard - random naked swimmers. The 27-year-old from Victoria's Portsea Surf Lifesaving Club is one of six Aussie lifeguards who have been patrolling Danish beaches northwest of Copenhagen since late June as part of an exchange program with North Zealand Lifesaving Service. The group has been deployed to swimming spots along a 70-kilometre stretch of coastline known as the Danish Riviera, where sleepy fishing villages are inundated with holidaymakers. "Because you can see Sweden from here ... you just don't get the wind that pushes the swell for kilometres and kilometres and kilometres to build the big swell we get in Australia," Mr Walker-Staalkjaer explained as AAP joined him on patrol at Lynæs sea bathing club. "So even though they do have rips here, they just don't have the power behind them." Mid-interview, a naked Danish couple wandered down to the water. "This is one thing I'm surprised about," he said laughing. "In Australia, we don't have naked swimmers." Mr Walker-Staalkjaer used a rubber duck thermometer to measure the water temperature, a crisp 19 degrees. "The Danes love their water temperature," he said. "I guarantee you, I have six different guys come up to me, telling me I'm off by a degree." The exchange program started three years ago after John Mogensen from North Zealand Lifesaving Service met Natalie Hood, former president at Portsea Surf Lifesaving Club, at an international lifesaving meeting. The pair lamented how difficult it was to fill patrol shifts during summer, Mr Mogensen said. "It's about boosting manpower but also giving an experience to my lifeguards ... they make friends abroad," he told AAP. The participants receive travel subsidies, free accommodation and access to bikes to get to their paid or volunteer patrol shifts, depending on working holiday visa eligibility. Mr Mogensen, who is director of lifesaving, noted the Australians injected more fun and social life into his service. Inspired by Australia's Nippers program, he revived a Danish junior development program. The exchange also expanded after former Australian ambassador to Denmark, Kerin Ayyalaraju, introduced Mr Mogensen to a surf lifesaving contact in Sydney, resulting in NSW lifesavers coming to Denmark. For Mr Walker-Staalkjaer, who has a Danish father and Australian mother, it's an opportunity to connect with his paternal roots, practise his language skills and catch up with extended family. "Just writing Australian lifeguard up on the board, you get so many people coming up, excited, saying 'Oh wow, you've come all the way over from Australia'," he said. "You have a lot of people bringing up (Australian-born Danish Queen) Mary... most have a connection because they have been travelling there or their kids went to study or took a gap year." Mr Walker-Staalkjaer hasn't performed any major rescues in Denmark. It's mostly been first aid, jellyfish stings and swimmers standing on poisonous spiky weever fish. Doing solo patrols has also been a novelty, whereas back home, he is usually on duty with a team of 10. "You need a different style of guarding here. You have to keep yourself very alert. Whereas, in Australia, things kind of come at you," he said. "It's a slower pace in a good way." Later this year, a handful of Danish lifeguards are set to travel Down Under to escape Denmark's brutal winter. Mr Walker-Staalkjaer then hopes to be back in Denmark next year. "It's great hopping from summer to summer," he said.
