You can see the limited number of seats released on each flight. With the incredible deals US has offered the last few days, you can also see that a lot more people will now be closely monitoring Twitter, making these tickets tougher to get. US already has over 52,000 people following them.

But if you can snag one of these tickets, you really can save some money. The fares earn miles too!

And don’t forget the Twitter contests too:

• For 2 roundtrip tickets — first follower to tweet all our Hawaiian destinations wins. http://bit.ly/aQcvFQ
• Gold Preferred and 1 yr club membership – first follower to tweet 5 of our year-round European destinations wins.http://bit.ly/cXIOPm

What a great marketing scheme!
