July 23 airfare chart: Hawaii’s calling with lower fares from LAX and Orange County

If you’re looking at Hawaii for a summer respite and you’re flying out of LAX or Orange County, rejoice: You’ll be saving $30 and $62, respectively.

If you’re flying out of Burbank, put that celebration on hold. That fare zoomed up more than $180 from last week.

Not surprisingly, airfares to Phoenix were down as summer settles in.

The 10-day forecast shows temperatures mostly in the 100s, according to Weather.com, although a thunderstorm on Monday may cool things down to a brisk 96.

But fares to Washington, D.C., ever its contrarian self, went up from LAX. Last week: $376. This week: $423.

The good news for Burbankites: You’re paying the same this week as last to be hot and sticky.

Meanwhile, on the international airfare front, hold onto your hat.

The big gain this week was Auckland, New Zealand, where it is winter, not blistering hot summer.

Last week, the lowest listed fare was $933, and this week it’s $1,124. Ouch.

You can fly to Down Under by checking out Sydney, where the price was nearly $100 less for the lowest fare.

Happy travels.
