The rule of thumb for most air is 330 days in advance.
BTW, if it's of interest to anyone, I covered myself with HAL's hotel in Seattle (Fairmont Olympic), but I'm waiting to see what the tariff will be at the Marriott Waterfront where I stayed the last time. I haven't checked in several weeks now, but our dates in July hadn't opened up yet.
Again, as an FYI, since our cruise is Friday to Friday, most are (of course) flying in one day early, but staying a couple of days for sightseeing post cruise since it's over a weekend and not affecting work schedules.

I try looking at some Hotels in Seattle but wasn't able to get any prices, still too early.
I was able to check on how much it would cost for flights into Seattle. I couldn't find any direct flights from Montreal
to Seattle. I will have to transfer in Vancouver BC. Depending on the cost of the hotel I will probably stay one night only.

We plan to arrive in Seattle on Thursday (thanks to the time difference, it will be roughly mid-day), and stay in Seattle on Friday and Saturday nights post-cruise. Hopefully, we can get a very early flight out on Sunday morning to beat the rest of the cruise crowds, although we prefer to stay in town.

Hawai'i details will go out in email this weekend, not on this Forum. I'm sure you understand. Mahalo and ALOHA!
I had a Future Cruise Deposit, so I'm booked in my favorite cabin since there's only one such cabin on the ship. :boogie:

Earl - it's one of the HAL choices that includes transfers from airport to hotel, hotel to ship or vice-versa.
