A good sale to/from Maui. The last time AA had it this cheap in February, it didn’t last long. Our advice, buy now and see if the other airlines like Alaska, Hawaiian or Virgin will match tomorrow. Use the 24 hour risk free cancellation to your advantage.
Update 5/3/2016 @ 5:08PM Eastern – fare gone
Update 5/3/2016 @ 5:58PM Eastern – fare back
Update 5/3/2016 @ 8:55PM Eastern – most good connection dates are gone resulting in either the outbound or return having an overnight in Los Angeles. This causes Priceline to not properly price ITA pricing – in scenarios where there’s an overnight connection in Los Angeles, use the Multi-Destinations and enter each segment individually to price. We also have updated the ITA search instructions to only search for availability without overnights.
Update 5/4/2016 @ 1:25AM Eastern – availability is still there. Pricing is an issue when there’s an OVERNIGHT connection – when that happens, please use the multi-destination option and enter each segment individually for it to price.

American Airlines doesn’t have 24-hour risk-free cancellation. You can put the ticket on hold, but as soon as you pay, it’s done.
IIRC that’s changed recently and they switched to the standard 24-hour risk-free cancellation.
Lowest price it’s showing for me is 465 – anybody know how to get the 265 or is it gone
This already gone? Can’t seem to get it to work
ITA is showing the $265, but when I select the same in Priceline, it doesn’t exist?
@G – can you provide us with your dates so we can take a look
Sep 29 for 7 nights, getting $365 in Priceline
@G – what are the EXACT dates?
Sorry, Sep 29 – Oct 6
@G – we don’t see these dates for $265 on ITA.
If you do – September 30th – October 7th, it will be $265.
I see there is a layover in LAX. If I’m traveling from SoCal, is there anyway to take advantage of this deal?
@Paul – you have to start the trip in San Francisco. The only leg you can skip is the last (LAX-SFO), but if you check luggage, your bag will go to San Francisco. If you skip any leg before the last, your entire itinerary will be cancelled
Getting $348 for SFO-LAX, Sep 30-Oct 7…
@G – the 7th has an overnight connection in Los Angeles now, this is causing Priceline to not properly price it. In order to price that, you will need to use multi-destination and enter each segment individually.
Is this still available for the month of May???
@K – yes, very little at the beginning of the month
Just booked a flight from Sept. 10-17 for $265, thank you so much!!
Is there a way to select the seats?
