I only needed one inter-island segment for an upcoming Hawaiian vacation, and I was so appalled by the fares that I was going to redeem 5000 CO/UA miles, but the only flights available were at very inconvenient (early morning/late night) times. So I used some PenFed points instead.
For 3,000 miles, I'd tolerate more inconvenient flight times, especially if I need a bunch of tickets for a family trip.
Usually I can get anything that shows up on the CO website but I just made a redemption yesterday where the agent had a hard time finding what I was finding on the CO site. Hope this does not indicate availability changes in the future.
BTW, you can't book a one way for 3,000 miles.
