I’m confused as to why we were all told to cancel our trip to Maui and now you guys are posting Airlines such as Alaska and Southwest that are offering specials to come to Maui.
If you read some of the recent BOH posts, you’ll see that the original “Don’t come to Maui” was a knee-jerk reaction. The island has changed it’s messaging to “Don’t come to the far northwest part of Maui”, as that is the area affected by the fire, and hotels in the area are being used to house displaced residents. The rest of Maui, however, is beautiful, and your visits to the other 90% of the island are needed and encouraged. Contact your hotel and/or short-term rental and reinstate or reroute your vacation to visit these untouched areas. Maui will embrace you with much aloha!
Thanks for the tip. I saw your post before the Alaska Airlines email!
Luckily there are plenty of vacancies in Kihei and other parts of East Maui. This is a great opportunity to stay and explore parts of Maui that are a little harder to get when staying in Kaanapali.
Now my canceled trip to West Maui is rescheduled.
Haleakala sunrise here we come!!!
Mahalo!
We just took advantage of this deal but I can’t believe how many West Maui hotels are still advertising for available rooms under $200 a night.

I love Alaska, however most, if not all, of their flights to Hawaii are on the 737 MAX 9 aircraft. I’d rather swim than fly on that unsafe airframe
