Hawaii-based Airlines - Segment price higher if you book for two??

Just researching some prices for next spring- HNL-LIH-OGG
on March 19/12 & some other dates.

Weird pricing on Mar 19th- if I book for one, OW price HNL-LIH is $69 but if I change to 2 pax, price jumps to $91 each! ?? Found the same phenom on other routes on the same day eg LIH-KOA.

I guess I can just make 2 bookings to get the $69 price, but just seems odd. Anyone? :confused:

There might be only one seat available at that price. Keep trying at different times each day, hawaiian's ticket prices seemt to change hourly. I've watched a ticket for 3 days straight at 105 one way and then suddenly it was 69 for an hour when I bought, then went right back up to 105.

Yes your answer makes perfect sense but on the
day(s) in question, same phenonenon for all flights all segments that day (Mar 19/12 for example) :confused:

They could have allocated only one seat to that particular fare class for all flights on that day.

You definitely have a lot of time before next spring. I'd wait a few months and hold out hope for a fare sale. They've become rarer in the last few years, but do happen and can save you a few bucks.
