We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Via Points With a Crew, Virgin America is having a sale to lots of destinations, including Hawaii!  And because it has merged with Alaska Airlines, you can also find these low fares through the Alaska Airlines website!  These deals expire October 2, 2017.

    I found flights from San Jose, California, to Honolulu for $189 one-way in coach.  And from San Francisco to Maui for $199 one-way in coach.

    Buy Flights to Hawaii at a Discount Through October 3, 2017

    Link:   Alaska Airlines Sale

    Through October 2, 2017, you can buy select Alaska Airlines flights for as low as $42 one-way, though most fares are higher.  For example, I found a flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale for $97 one-way in coach on October 17, 2017.

    Here are the details:

    2.   Virgin America

    Link:   Virgin America Sale

    Virgin America is running practically the same exact sale with the same end date of October 2, 2017.  As an example, I found a flight from San Francisco to Denver for $69 one-way on October 17, 2017.

    Here are the details of this sale:

    These sales are mostly similar, with a few key differences:

    Both sales have blackout dates, so check their landing pages to see if your travel dates are available!

    Hotel Information

    If you book a sale flight, remember there are lots of ways to get cheap or free hotel rooms with points from credit card bonuses and spending.

    To find hotels that can be booked with points, I use Hotel Hustle (which even shows you if rooms are actually available!) or AwardMapper.

    Remember, you can transfer flexible points like Chase Ultimate Rewards or American Express Membership Rewards to different hotel programs.  

    Note:  If you prefer to book paid stays, check out discount sites like Orbitz, Expedia, or TravelPony for deals.  But remember you won’t get stay credits or points (and might not have your elite status recognized!). Airbnb is another terrific way to save money on accommodations, especially for longer stays.  Here are some tips on how to negotiate a better Airbnb price, and how to find a safe and comfortable Airbnb.
