However, keep in mind that the fares for returning flights are slightly more expensive.
The total cost for a round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Maui would be $247. Keep in mind that this fare and all the other fares shown here in this Alaska deal are only for the airline’s Saver class.
Alaska’s Saver class is a bit more restrictive than the Main fares — passengers flying in the Saver class cannot choose seats or make any changes to their flights.

Bottom line
If you want to book a quick trip or fly across the country at a discount, these bargain Alaska fares are ideal.
Even though the carrier only advertises the low one-way trip prices, the round-trip prices for certain routes are still significantly cheaper — especially for the ones from the West Coast to Hawaii.
These fares may not be available for long, so we recommend booking your flights as soon as possible.
