Sherman's Travel

Lately, we’ve been seeing unheard-of low rates on Hawaiian Airlines, and now Alaska Airlines is matching these prices on routes to Hawaii from West Coast cities. One-way tickets from San Diego, Oakland, Portland, Sacramento, and San Jose, to Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island start from as little as $149. Travel is valid from August 23 through November 10, but tickets must be purchased by August 15.

Sample Fares Include:

•    Portland?Maui: $149
•    Portland?Oahu: $149
•    San Diego?Maui: $159
•    San Jose?Big Island: $159
•    Oakland?Big Island: $159
•    Sacramento?Maui: $159
•    And more!

THE VALUE: Depending on the route, you’ll save $100-$300 or more by booking with Alaska Airlines. In many cases, these flights are cheaper than a round-trip coast-to-coast flight.

THE CATCH: If you are flying from the East Coast, you’ll have to snag a connecting flight.
