Let's stay for today's Best Hawaii blog post kind of within the topic we talked about 'Is it a good time to buy a Maui condo NOW?' We heard from Maui realtors in the South Kihei condo area that the months January through April 2009 had been really slow with interested buyers in Maui condos. Summer 2009 showed a big slowdown in vacation rental requests but on the other hand, more "Mainlanders" showed up interested in buying Kihei condos at 'bargain' prices as investment and as a vacation rental and a place to stay warm during cold winter months!
For all those, who are still looking into buying a Maui condo now or are getting ready for a Maui vacation during fall season, there is great news out there for Maui travel, especially for travelers from the Pacific Northwest, from Seattle and Portland. I came across those new best flight offers from Seattle to Maui through a Maui Twitter friend whose tweet I actually retweeted for our best Maui vacation visitors yesterday:
RT @MCIMaui New Direct Alaska Airlines Flight from Portland to #Maui: Will more competition mean more affordable... http://bit.ly/17sif9
It's pretty amazing how things come and go around through social networks like twitter. Anyways, my Maui Twitter friend had picked up the good Maui travel news from the Maui Real Estate Directory Blog, which wrote on a post 'Will more competition mean more affordable flights to Maui?': "As of July 3rd, a convenient new flight via Alaska Airlines is taking passengers direct from Portland, Oregon to Maui, Hawaii. Alaska offered three flights weekly at first, but as of August 7th, service will expand to daily flights." I definitely recommend Maui visitors to read the entire post New Direct Alaska Airlines Flights from Portland to Maui.
As we all know affordable air fares to Hawaii can and will give the Hawaii Tourism Industry a big boost. That's why we were happy to see our friends from Beat of Hawaii on the same track when they are talking about Hawaii Fall Airfare predictions, referring to Hawaiian Airlines, on one of their recent posts:
"Pacific Northwest will be the hottest market. In just the past week the cost to fly from Seattle to Honolulu has dropped by 25% and is now at $298 round-trip on Hawaiian. I expect to see Seattle and Portland fares continue to drop, especially on service to Honolulu and nonstop flights to the outer islands. Likely we will again see round-trip fares for as little as $200 (plus tax of about $20), from time to time, as we saw last year." Again, we recommend to read the entire article about the best flight offers from the Pacific Northwest to Hawaii.

Here is a copy of part of my comment in case you missed that:
"Much mahalo, Jeff, for making our Hawaii visitors from the Pacific Northwest aware of those special air fares from Seattle and Portland to the islands. I've checked on Hawaiian and found the special rates you mentioned Seattle - Honolulu and Seattle Maui for RT $298.
However, I noticed with Maui, that travelers might want to leave a little more time between now and their departing flights to Maui in September. As the direct flights to Maui leave only once a day, the planes get filled up fast and then Hawaiian asks more money for their seats, whether Wednesday or weekend flying, it does not matter."

So guys check Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines for those special fall airfares from the Pacific Northwest or San Francisco to Hawaii. Find your best flight special from Seattle to Maui or Honolulu Hawaii. Hop on the plane and have a great Hawaii Vacation. Aloha, Pua Hawaii Vacation

That is good news that Alaska and Hawaiian airlines are starting to offer great deals on flights to Maui and Honolulu.
This should really help pick up tourism in Hawaii. We all need a break from rising prices in this economy.
It is definitly a great time to buy real estate in Maui, especially if you make an offer on one of the short sales.
As for us, we can't wait to get back to our second home. We always escape the cold winters in Canada and stay in our maui kihei condo. If you take advantage of the great deals on flights to Maui this fall you still have a chance to rent this lovely two bedroom condo, centrally located in Kihei, and steps to the beach.
Great to hear that you have a wonderful Maui condo in the most desired area of Kihei and its white sand beaches to escape to from the cold Canadian winter months.
I bet you with those cheap flight tickets from the Pacific Northwest to Maui offered now by Hawaiian and Alaskan Airlines, there will be quite a number of Maui visitors considering your special condo rates for this fall. It looks beautiful!
Cheap air fares + affordable accommodation makes for the best Hawaii vacation!
We're excited about this to in Kona. A lot og of guests at Kona Ocean Villa are from the Northwest and they know what a great destination the Big Island is. Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines get them there from Seattle but we know the smart travelers find their way to Kona and the smartest book a week or two at the Kona Ocean Villa.
And it's great that it is happening this year since the El Nino in the Pacific Ocean promises warm water and an excellent season for whale watching, scuba diving, snorkeling, and more!
See you all in Kona.
Yes, Kona Ocean View, the cheap flight offers from Seattle are not only for travelers to Maui. Kona visitors are the same happy to hear that they can buy roundtrips for this fall season at best prices from Hawaiian Airlines.
Kona and the Kohala Coast on the West Coast of the Big Island are the best places to stay when looking for sunshine on the Big Island during rainy and cold fall months in Seattle, Portland and the rest of the Pacific Northwest. Make sure you get the best airfare to Maui or Kona!
yes it's great to know some airlines has taken a good steps it will be really great for travelers.
Yes as Pua said Cheap air fares + affordable accommodation makes for the best Hawaii vacation....
