West Coast Airlines Sale – Fly to Many Destinations (Including Hawaii!) From $37 One-Way!

Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

Via Miles to Memories, Virgin America is having a sale to celebrate being voted the top airline by Conde Nast.  And because it has merged with Alaska Airlines, you can find these low fares through the Alaska Airlines website!  And travel for less to spots like Seattle, Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, DC, and more!

I found flights from San Diego to San Francisco for $54 one-way in coach.  And from Oakland to Maui for $179 one-way in coach.

The sale ends October 18, 2017 (tomorrow!), so book these deals as soon as you can!

Here are the details.  And how to search for deals from your city!

You can check Miles to Memories for how to book.  Or see my posts for how to use Google Flights and ITA Matrix to find sale dates.

Then book directly on Alaska’s website or through a site like Orbitz.

If you book a ticket with an online travel agency like Orbitz, Expedia, or Priceline you may be eligible for a refund within a short time of booking your ticket.  Check out my post on cancellation policies for airlines and online travel agencies for more details!

And if you’re looking for more ways to earn Alaska Airlines miles, consider both the personal and small business Bank of America Alaska Airlines cards!

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.
