Today is the last day to book one-way flights to Hawaii for as few as 7,500 points or $99. This promotion, which expires at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time tonight, lets Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan travelers reach the islands at a fraction of the usual cost. With the sale ending, it remains unclear whether similar deals will return (we had this same deal about a month ago) or if this marks a shift in pricing strategies among airlines competing in the Hawaii air travel market.
The 7,500 point redemption has a value of about $75.00, making this a standout airfare for those who want to take advantage of it today. Availability is for travel to and from Hawaii this spring.
Why this sale mattered.
Flights to Hawaii are often expensive, even when booked months in advance. With award flights priced from 7,500 miles, this deal is one of the most affordable ways to reach the islands recently. It also highlights how airlines use mileage sales to drive bookings while adjusting to shifting demand.
Alaska Airlines has positioned itself as the strongest competitor in Hawaii travel by purchasing Hawaiian Airlines, and its Mileage Plan continues to offer solid value compared to other airline loyalty programs. However, with award rates fluctuating, travelers are left wondering whether this was a rare deal or a sign of more aggressive fare competition to come.
How to book before time runs out.
To grab one of these discounted flights, travelers will book directly through Alaska Airlines’ website before the sale ends tonight. The offer applies to select routes from major West Coast cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle, to destinations including Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, and Kona.
Flights will be booked using Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles, and taxes and fees, typically under $10 one-way, still apply. Saver fare restrictions also mean limited seat selection policies.
What happens after today.
As noted in our coverage of How Economic Uncertainty Is Reshaping Hawaii Travel Plans, airfare pricing remains unpredictable, and airlines are adapting to changing market conditions. This sale was a clear move to stimulate bookings, but whether similar deals will return remains uncertain.
With summer travel approaching, airfare to Hawaii will likely see upward fluctuations based on demand and competition. Travelers who miss today’s sale may still find deals in the upcoming months, which we’ll watch for, but prices and redemption rates will rise.
Availability for this is disappearing fast, so with the clock ticking, now is the time to secure your Hawaii getaway before this deal ends tonight.
