Maui to Dallas is about 3,705 miles (OGG–DFW). You can fly it nonstop on American, the only airline that does. The cheapest way to book it on points is usually Atmos Rewards from 17,500 points one-way on American, with $5.60 in taxes. That's a lot of trip for the points: Dallas means the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.

How each airline prices Maui to Dallas
Every program uses its own method, which is why the same seat can cost very different amounts. Here's the math for each program that books this trip, cheapest first:
- Delta SkyMiles (on Delta, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. Delta sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 15,000 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates, and about 40,000 in first. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- Atmos Rewards (on American): Distance chart for partner flights. Atmos prices American-operated flights by distance. The 3,705-mile nonstop falls in the 2,101–4,000-mile band: 17,500 economy, 35,000 first, plus a $20 partner fee each way.
- AAdvantage (on American): Dynamic pricing. American sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 20,000 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- Air Canada Aeroplan (on United, 1 stop): Distance chart. Aeroplan prices United flights within North America by total distance. With a connection, the trip flies about 4,261 miles (vs 3,705 miles direct), which falls in the 2,751+-mile band: from 22,500 economy, 35,000 business, plus a booking fee of about $30. That's the starting price; United can release seats above it.
- United MileagePlus (on United, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. United sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 22,500 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates, and about 45,000 in first. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- British Airways Avios (on American): Distance chart, per flight. British Airways charges each flight separately by its length. The 3,705-mile nonstop falls in the 3,001–4,000-mile band of the chart BA uses for American and Alaska flights: about 23,000 economy, 67,000 business/first. A connection would be two charges, so it's quoted for nonstops only.
- Air France-KLM Flying Blue (on Delta, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. Flying Blue prices Delta flights by demand, with no chart, and since September 2026 the price also depends on the fare type you pick. Trips this long have been seen as low as 24,000 in economy, often below SkyMiles for the same seat. Taxes are higher, about $20–30.
- Turkish Miles&Smiles (on United, 1 stop): Zone chart. Turkish charges one flat price for United flights to or from Hawaii, whatever the distance: 25,000 economy, 40,000 business.
- Avianca LifeMiles (on United, 1 stop): Unpublished chart. LifeMiles doesn't publish its prices for United flights and changed them without notice in 2025. About 25,000 is what it has been charging for a trip like this; check lifemiles.com before you transfer.
- Cathay Asia Miles (on American): Distance chart, whole trip. Cathay Asia Miles prices American and Alaska flights by total distance. The 3,705-mile nonstop falls in the 2,751–5,000-mile band: 27,000 economy, 63,000 business.

What it's worth
A useful test: bank points are worth about 1.5 cents each when you could use them elsewhere. So 17,500 points is a good deal when the cash fare is above about $269. On Maui–Dallas, that's common on busy dates and in the last few weeks before travel, when fares jump and fixed award charts don't. For a premium seat, 35,000 points pays off when the cash fare tops about $531. See our points valuations for each program.
How to book

Feeds: Bilt Points 1:1 and the Atmos Rewards Ascent Visa Signature Credit Card and Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite Credit Card.
Delta SkyMiles
Delta SkyMiles prices its own flights dynamically. Off-peak economy starts around 15,000 and first around 40,000 on Delta with one connection. Delta prices track cash fares. Search the flexible-date calendar and wait for SkyMiles flash sales (domestic 5,000-10,000 one-way). Feeds: Amex Membership Rewards 1:1 and the Delta SkyMiles Gold American Express and Delta SkyMiles Platinum American Express.

Finding availability
- Book early. Schedules open about 330–337 days ahead on the US airlines. Saver seats are easiest to find in the first few weeks and again in the last two weeks if planes aren't full.
- Search the airline's own site first. Delta.com, aa.com and united.com show the seat; then price the same flight with each partner program.
- Use flexible-date calendars. One day either side often halves a dynamic price.
- Transfer last. Bank transfers are one-way. Find the seat, then move exactly the points you need.
- When to go: March–May and October–November have mild temperatures; summers routinely top 100°F, and the State Fair of Texas runs from late September into October.
Who should do it
- Anyone holding Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Points, Citi ThankYou and Chase Ultimate Rewards: they move into these programs.
- Atmos Rewards members who already have miles in the account.
- Travelers with fixed dates on busy weeks, when cash fares spike but chart prices hold.
What to do in Dallas
- The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza: A museum in the former Texas School Book Depository that tells the story of President Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
- Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District: Western heritage district with a twice-daily longhorn cattle drive, rodeo at Cowtown Coliseum and Billy Bob's Texas.
- Fort Worth Cultural District: Home to the Kimbell Art Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art.
- Dallas Arts District: A downtown district with the Dallas Museum of Art (free general admission), the Nasher Sculpture Center and the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
- Klyde Warren Park: A deck park built over the Woodall Rodgers Freeway that connects downtown and Uptown, with food trucks and free events.
Getting around: A rental car is the practical choice for a spread-out metro, though DART light rail connects DFW Airport and Love Field-area stations to downtown Dallas, and the TEXRail line links DFW Airport to Fort Worth.
Hotels you can book on points: Grand Hyatt DFW (Hyatt), Hyatt Regency Dallas (Hyatt) and The Joule, Dallas (Luxury Collection) (Marriott).
