UA?? LAX/SFO-HNL/OGG $224 ai 1/26-2/4 min 3 nights

Saw this on slickdeals

Books through Pleasant Holidays, and includes 3 day car rental at that price. Did this exact deal last december, and flights were on UA. Not exactly mileage run in the sense that you have to spend some nights there. Did not call to confirm if flights are on UA again this time, but I would assume so.

Pleasant is a consolidator. When they sell out their allotment of seats, the deal is gone. They're great at the last minute if they have unsold inventory. Books into L so it earns miles and is upgradable -First hand experience

Cool

Calling Pleasant Holidays is useless. They quoted over $1,000 for 2 people.

Instead, I'm able to book from their website:

4 Nite SFO-OGG (Maui) Air-Hotel Package $329 Total per person

Direct flights on UA 1/31 - 2/4 - L Class 100% Miles

Kaanapali Ocean Inn
2780-A Kekaa Drive, Lahaina, Maui, HI 96761

Thanks, OP

SFO-Kauai $367 ai (with 3 days Hertz car)

Thu 1/28 - Sun 1/31 United RT & Hertz car $367 ($198 airfare + $138 car + $30 last minute booking fee) through Pleasant Holidays 888-786-9841

Wed 1/27 - Sat 1/30 SFO-HNL (Oahu) $198 was available, but Maui was not. Have to buy airfare with a car or hotel. Not as good as the $189/224 advertised special (+$37 taxes + $30 fees = $256/291), but it's ok.

San Francisco's so rainy I'd prefer Hawaii to Harbin Hot Springs right now. Only my second trip to Kauai.

Thanks OP!

P.S. I couldn't book on the website because it's within 4 days, but waited 7-8 min on-hold and then got a really nice lady (Terry) at Pleasant Holidays who checked lots of options for me.

Kauai, Thu 1/28 - Sun 1/31
Air + Car $367
Air + Hotel $504
Air + Car + Hotel $637

Oahu, Wed 1/27 - Sat 1/30
Air + Car $320 (Note: Oahu cars are super-cheap Adv $11/day, Thrifty $13.60/day)
Air + Hotel $396

Glad people got in on the deal. As noted, fares are mileage eligible and upgradeable. My experience last time I booked with PH was very favorable - wrote someone an email and he called me back directly and helped me price things out.

Thanks OP stupenal! The Blue Hawaiian helicopter flight over Kauai was incredible & I highly recommend it.

Poke and pineapple were the food highlights of the trip.
(1) Kapaa Foodland - esp. Ahi Wasabi
(2) Wailua - Ishihara Market - Ahi & Ahi Chilipepper

I hope they have this next weekend (probably not) or some weekends after.
