It's time for another Alaska Airlines sale on flights to Hawaii, with nonstop one-way fares to dream destinations such as Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island available for as low as $99. The carrier announced its latest deal with a perfectly punny tweet.
The sale is from key Alaska Air cities such as Seattle, Portland, San Diego, and San Jose. As usual, the best prices apply to Alaska's Saver tier, the airline's most restricted fare. Saver tickets allow one carry-on bag and one personal item, but you don't have an assigned seat. The Main Saver tickets are also discounted. That tier comes with overhead bin space, earlier boarding and allows you to change your ticket without a fee

Sample flights
You can fly nonstop from Portland (PDX) to Lihue (LIH), Kauai's biggest city for $257 round-trip. If you wanted to upgrade a tier, it would cost you an extra $80 round-trip.
We found nonstop San Diego (SAN) to Maui (OGG) fares for just $197 round-trip. Also, upgrading to Main would cost just $40 with this itinerary.
San Diego to Kona on the Big Island (KOA) is also available for $99 each way. We only saw limited availability for this route at this price.
Seattle (SEA) to Kona is available for $149 each way.
Flights from San Jose (SJC) to Kauai are also available at the best possible price in this sale. We found great availability for this route, which costs just $197 round-trip. Keep in mind, because the sale applies to Monday through Thursday travel, you should plan a trip of at least seven days if you're looking for the absolute best possible price. I'm reasonably certain many of you will not have much trouble with being "forced" to spend seven days or more anywhere in Hawaii.
