Hawaii: Pleasant Holidays $99 companion ticket from LAX to Maui

I thought the last Pleasant Holidays deal was incredible — three nights including air starting at $299 — but this new one is pretty irresistible too: Get a $99 companion ticket when flying between Los Angeles and Maui, or between San Francisco and Oahu or Maui, when you buy a Hawaii vacation package.

Deal: The $99 companion-air deal requires that you buy a hotel package or a fly-and-drive package through Pleasant Holidays. I was able to find a three-night hotel package (including a car) departing Los Angeles for travel to Maui on Aug. 24 to 27 and staying at Kaanapali Ocean Inn (just a one-star). The total came to $1,114 for two, including taxes. If you stay at a three-star beachfront condo, it would be $1,241.

Tested: While I was on hold on the Pleasant Holidays reservation line, I started to test booking the deal online. Because there were no links to the $99 deal on Pleasant Holidays’ home page, I tried to test the companion promotion by booking a Maui package out of LAX. Booking online was pretty confusing, and in the end the reservation agent answered my call and found dates that worked with the deal faster than I could maneuver through the website.

Note: This deal has limited availability and all prices are subject to change until the package is booked.

When: Valid for travel Aug. 15 to Aug. 31
