Pleasant Holidays

[Icc5]

Anyone use Pleasant Holidays for flying to Maui? How was everything and were there any problems? We would be going out of San Jose.

We used Pleasant Holidays going from SFO to HNL a couple of years ago. Everything went well and the price was good.

I've never used them but the folks who write the "Maui Revealed" books mention them as having great deals.

We have used Pleasant Holidays about 4-5 times. Always after shopping around and then coming back to them. We used them for a group package when our daugther graduated from high school. She and 3 friends went to Oahu and Maui and got to rent a car (they were just 18). Everything has always gone smoothly.
We are using them again for this summer's trip. Just the Air/Car part, for Kauai and Maui.
Aloha! (She should be a hula dancer!)

travel agency or airlines

Is this a travel agency or an airline? I guess I thought it was a strangely named airline because I have flights on the brain right now and I saw the name and flights in the same paragraph. It must be my age!

Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays is a discount travel consolidator. I think they charter planes for their flights.

They used to use ATA, but now I am not sure which carrier they use.

This is their link.

They use United.

We have used Pleasant Holidays a couple of times in the past with favorable results. Our flights were on United; this was long before ATA's bankruptcy.

 

[sandesurf]

Yes, they used to use ATA, but out of the 4-5 times we've used them, we only flew on ATA once. Last time, two years ago, they used Delta. We've also gotten AA flights with them, in the past. This year, it's on UA

Thank All of you

Thank you for the replies. I'm pretty sure we used them once or twice in the past but I thought they went by a different but similar name.

You're right! They used to be called Pleasant Hawaiian!

One small problem, years ago...

On our honeymoon 12 years ago, my wife and I booked with Pleasant from SFO-Kauai, with a change of plane in Honolulu. They used ATA.

We were supposed to have a 2 hour layover in HNL, but as we got off our plane there, a guy was hustling people onto a flight to Kauai. I told him that this wasn't our flight; he said no problem and put us on, anyway. "Great!" we thought. "We'll get to our hotel about 1pm instead of 3pm and we'll have the entire afternoon to swim!"

When we arrived on Kauai, our luggage hadn't made the transfer. That meant, of course, no swimsuits, and no luggage at all until 6pm when the airline delivered it to our hotel.

But as it was our honeymoon, we just stayed in our room, instead...
