Pleasant Holidays has partnered with the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa to offer guests of Pleasant some excellent travel incentives, beginning with free airfare for a companion, when they travel now through December 24, 2002, and stay for a minimum of five nights in select accommodations at the deluxe resort on Kaanapali Beach. To qualify for the significant savings, reservations must be booked by September 30, 2002.

Benefits include: Reduced rates, free airfare for a companion when the primary passenger pays the regular full-fare, and daily buffet breakfast for two.
