Maui - Last minute bargain

Funny thing... I just finished writing about fare alerts, when I got one. Air Canada chimed my e-mail box to say that "my price" was reached. I had left an automated fare search on  YWG to OGG, set for $249 each way.   Sure enough, it came up.

YWG to OGG March 8th to 16th. It's a bit of a haul, with 2 stops each way. (connecting in Denver & LA) however, the total flight time is actually really good. You leave at 7:50AM, and land at 5:38 PM (Maui time). The return flight is overnight. Leaving about 10PM on the 15th and returning home about 4PM on the 16th

I can't go. But if you are flexible it might be the deal you've been waiting for. With taxes all in it is $618. An excellent price.

If you are a CAA member, the Maui Coast Hotel, which I definitely recommend, is about $155 a night. Happy hour by the pool is nice. Very nice.
