Maui to Alaska is about 2,800 miles (OGG–ANC). You can fly it nonstop on Alaska, the only airline that does. The cheapest way to book it on points is usually Atmos Rewards from 12,500 points one-way on Alaska, with $5.60 in taxes. That's a lot of trip for the points: Alaska means Denali National Park and Preserve and Kenai Fjords National Park (Seward).

How each airline prices Maui to Alaska
Every program uses its own method, which is why the same seat can cost very different amounts. Here's the math for each program that books this trip, cheapest first:
- Atmos Rewards (on Alaska): Distance chart. Atmos prices Alaska and Hawaiian flights by miles flown. The 2,800-mile nonstop falls in the 2,101–3,500-mile band: from 12,500 economy, 30,000 first. These are starting prices; popular dates price higher.
- Avianca LifeMiles (on United, 1 stop): Unpublished chart. LifeMiles doesn't publish its prices for United flights and changed them without notice in 2025. About 15,000 is what it has been charging for a trip like this; check lifemiles.com before you transfer.
- Delta SkyMiles (on Delta, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. Delta sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 15,000 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates, and about 40,000 in first. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- AAdvantage (on American, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. American sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 20,000 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- British Airways Avios (on Alaska): Distance chart, per flight. British Airways charges each flight separately by its length. The 2,800-mile nonstop falls in the 2,001–3,000-mile band of the chart BA uses for American and Alaska flights: about 22,000 economy, 55,000 business/first. A connection would be two charges, so it's quoted for nonstops only.
- Air Canada Aeroplan (on United, 1 stop): Distance chart. Aeroplan prices United flights within North America by total distance. With a connection, the trip flies about 3,220 miles (vs 2,800 miles direct), which falls in the 2,751+-mile band: from 22,500 economy, 35,000 business, plus a booking fee of about $30. That's the starting price; United can release seats above it.
- United MileagePlus (on United, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. United sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 22,500 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates, and about 45,000 in first. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- Qantas Frequent Flyer (on Alaska): Distance chart, whole trip. Qantas adds up every flight in the trip and prices the total, so a short connection doesn't add a second charge. The 2,800-mile nonstop falls in the 2,401–3,600-mile band: 23,300 economy, 68,400 business, on American or Alaska.
- Turkish Miles&Smiles (on United, 1 stop): Zone chart. Turkish charges one flat price for United flights to or from Hawaii, whatever the distance: 25,000 economy, 40,000 business.
- Cathay Asia Miles (on Alaska): Distance chart, whole trip. Cathay Asia Miles prices American and Alaska flights by total distance. The 2,800-mile nonstop falls in the 2,751–5,000-mile band: 27,000 economy, 63,000 business.

What it's worth
A useful test: bank points are worth about 1.5 cents each when you could use them elsewhere. So 12,500 points is a good deal when the cash fare is above about $194. On Maui–Alaska, that's common on busy dates and in the last few weeks before travel, when fares jump and fixed award charts don't. For a premium seat, 30,000 points pays off when the cash fare tops about $456. See our points valuations for each program.
How to book
Atmos Rewards
Atmos prices Alaska and Hawaiian flights by distance, from 12,500 in economy and 30,000 in first on Alaska's OGG–ANC nonstop. Free changes and cancellations. Feeds: Bilt Points 1:1 and the Atmos Rewards Ascent Visa Signature Credit Card and Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite Credit Card.
Avianca LifeMiles
LifeMiles books United saver space from about 15,000 in economy. Its chart isn't published, so check the price before you transfer. Feeds: Amex Membership Rewards 1:1, Capital One miles 1:1, Citi ThankYou 1:1, Bilt Points 1:1 and Wells Fargo Rewards 1:1.
Delta SkyMiles
Delta SkyMiles prices its own flights dynamically. Off-peak economy starts around 15,000 and first around 40,000 on Delta with one connection. Delta prices track cash fares. Search the flexible-date calendar and wait for SkyMiles flash sales (domestic 5,000-10,000 one-way). Feeds: Amex Membership Rewards 1:1 and the Delta SkyMiles Gold American Express and Delta SkyMiles Platinum American Express.
AAdvantage
AAdvantage prices its own flights dynamically. Off-peak economy starts around 20,000 on American with one connection. Search the calendar view and target off-peak months (mid-Jan to mid-Mar, Sep to mid-Nov). AA runs periodic 7,500-mile domestic sales. Feeds: Citi ThankYou 1:1 and the Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select card.
Finding availability
- Book early. Schedules open about 330–337 days ahead on the US airlines. Saver seats are easiest to find in the first few weeks and again in the last two weeks if planes aren't full.
- Search the airline's own site first. Alaskaair.com, united.com, delta.com and aa.com show the seat; then price the same flight with each partner program.
- Use flexible-date calendars. One day either side often halves a dynamic price.
- Transfer last. Bank transfers are one-way. Find the seat, then move exactly the points you need.
- When to go: Mid-June through August brings long days, open park roads and most tours and cruises (May and September are cheaper but some services are limited); late August–April is aurora season in Fairbanks.
Who should do it
- Anyone holding Bilt Points, Amex Membership Rewards, Capital One miles and Citi ThankYou: they move into these programs.
- Atmos Rewards members who already have miles in the account.
- Travelers with fixed dates on busy weeks, when cash fares spike but chart prices hold.
What to do in Alaska
- Denali National Park and Preserve: Home to North America's tallest peak; the new Pretty Rocks bridge opened in late August 2026, but buses only went as far as East Fork (Mile 43) for the rest of 2026, and full transit to Kantishna is planned for 2027.
- Kenai Fjords National Park (Seward): Tidewater glaciers and marine wildlife seen on day cruises from Seward, about 2.5 hours south of Anchorage, plus the Exit Glacier trail.
- Mendenhall Glacier (Juneau): A glacier in the Tongass National Forest about 13 miles from downtown Juneau, with a visitor center and trails to Nugget Falls.
- Glacier Bay National Park: A tidewater-glacier park west of Juneau that most visitors see from a cruise ship or the day boat from Gustavus.
- Alaska Railroad and the Seward Highway: Scenic train routes from Anchorage to Seward and to Denali and Fairbanks, plus the Seward Highway along Turnagain Arm.
Getting around: A rental car (book early for summer) or the Alaska Railroad works on the Anchorage–Seward–Denali–Fairbanks corridor; Juneau and the Inside Passage are reached only by air, cruise ship or the Alaska Marine Highway ferry.
Hotels you can book on points: Anchorage Marriott Downtown (Marriott), Hilton Anchorage (Hilton) and Sheraton Anchorage Hotel (Marriott).
