I'm looking for the cheapest flight for four people from Seattle (SEA)
to Hilo (ITO) on the following dates:

Depart April 29, 2004 (SEA to ITO)
Return May 6, 2004 (ITO to SEA)

One connecting flight would be acceptable but non-stop is preferred.

Times are not important but I do not want a red-eye flight.  

The cheapest price I've been able to find is $625.  Any cheaper price
would qualify as an acceptable answer.

Hi there,

Hawaiian Airlines can do it for $575.49 each (includes the applicable
U.S. taxes, segment taxes, passenger facility charges and September
11th Security Fee of $46.07)

Don't believe the hype
======================
I am finding that going direct to the airline, or to a travel agent,
often finds a cheaper fare than the big travel websites.

$575 is much cheaper than Orbitz, who charge $689 for the same flight. 

TravelNow = $870
Travelocity = $702
CheapTickets.com = $671


Search strategy: I went straight to the Hawaiian Airlines website.

Exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks!
