LAX-HNL Group Poll
Hi;
I usually dish out advice to the group, but now I need some! I am going to HNL from the LA area on July 16 (a Friday) and unfortunately have no date or time flexibility with the outbound. The return can be the following Friday, plus or minus a day. The best fare I am finding is around $600RT on AA. Carriers like HA and TZ are only a few bucks cheaper and AQ is way more expensive. Think I should go for it, or wait? I am willing to burn AAdvantage miles (Hawaii routes are often kept by the airlines as a "mileage sink"). There is only one Business Class award seat available, and I need two. Y seats are unavailable. Does anyone know if AA makes more award seats available if it looks like seats will go unsold? If they do, how far in advance of the date do they typically do this? Many thanks; ideas and opinions welcome! Ken Ishiguro |

FWIW, AA (and a few other airlines) has been running FC sale fares on the lower 48-HNL route. Would you believe JFK-HNL for $1,100 r/t in FC? This sorts of makes elite flyers buy FC tickets instead of burn miles! |
