Hawaii deal alert: Fly to Maui from Atlanta, Boston and New York City from $370 round-trip
Right now you can fly to breathtaking Maui from the East Coast for less than $400 roundtrip on Oneworld carriers Alaska Airlines and American Airlines. The time frame for this sale is January and February of next year. Weather on the island is a bit colder than normal and there's always the chance of rain, but it is peak whale-watching season. Aside from that, you can take an unforgettable drive on the Road to Hana, with its black lava sand beaches and gorgeous waterfalls. Is it any wonder why Maui made TPG's list of top places to travel in 2025?
The best availability we saw in this deal was for flights out of Boston and New York City, but there are a couple of great prices on flights out of Atlanta, too.
These sale prices are for economy fares and all routes have layovers. With both Alaska and American, you do get a free carry-on bag. Checking a bag will cost you between $35 and $40 each way.

Sample flights
This mid-January flight on American Airlines out of Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Kahului Airport (OGG) in Maui costs just $378 roundtrip.
The same Boston-to-Maui route is available in February for $383 round-trip. That's still a great value.

We found flights on Alaska Airlines from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City to Kahului Airport in January and February for $370 round-trip. Please note that the lowest-priced itineraries include nine-hour layovers in San Francisco each way.
If LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is a more convenient New York airport to fly out of, American has flights to Maui in February for $378 round-trip.
There isn't a ton of availability out of Atlanta for this sale, but we found a few options in February. You can fly Alaska from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to Maui for just $382 round-trip.
According to Google Flights data, this is almost half off the price you would normally pay for this route.
