Alaska Airlines, Help for Maui
Aloha, dear travelers! In the wake of a recent tragedy, we are thrilled that Hawai’i Governor Josh Green announced the reopening of West Maui (excluding Lāhainā) to visitors, starting October 8, 2023. And guess what? Alaska Airlines is making your journey back to this island paradise more accessible than ever with lowered fares!
In an effort to help the island and bring business to the locals, Alaska Airlines is having a flash sale. Purchase by September 11th and travel between October 8th and November 15th. Flights are as low as $99 or 10,000 points for Mileage Plan members, one way.
Maui’s local businesses have been the heartbeat of this island for generations. Many small business owners eagerly await the return of mindful travelers like you, ready to extend their warmest aloha spirit.
So, while you’re on this beautiful island, here are some ways you can make a difference:
1. 🍽️ **Dine at Family-Owned Restaurants:** Savor the authentic flavors of Hawai’i at family-owned eateries, where generations of culinary tradition await your taste buds.
2. 🎁 **Shop Local for Souvenirs:** Pick up one-of-a-kind souvenirs from local shops. Not only will you find treasures with a story, but you’ll also directly contribute to the livelihoods of island artisans.
3. 😊 **Practice Patience and Understanding:** Be patient and understanding if some excursions or experiences aren’t immediately available. The island is on the path to healing, and your flexibility goes a long way.
4. 💰 **Generous Tipping:** Consider tipping a little more generously. Your gratitude can make a significant impact on the lives of those who call Maui home.
As you plan your trip, remember the Hawaiian concept of “mālama,” which means to care for and protect. Extend your compassion to this beautiful island and its resilient people as they recover and rebuild.
