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

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.
