31 min connection HNL-OGG-KOA
Booking award tickets from HNL-KOA using UA miles, one way for 3 people. For the lowest amount of miles for non stops, only the real early or real late show up as available, however, a connection in OGG with 31 minutes shows up, also another at just shy of 2 hours.
Is 31 minutes adequate time for not only us, but our bags to make the connection? With so many flights I am sure worst case is they will just get to KOA on the next flight anyways, but if that's the case, I might as well just book the longer connection.
I would imagine HA deals with these tight connections quite regularly, but probably more so at HNL than OGG.

Per HA website:
Minimum Boarding Gate Time
Guests must be present at the boarding gate for boarding or on the aircraft at least 30 minutes prior to your flight’s scheduled departure time, even if you have already checked in for your flight.
Barring any delays, you may not make the connection. It is a brisk 20 min walk from the farthest UA gate to the HA inter-island gate.
your bags on the other hand will probably be put on a nonstop HNL - KOA flight

FYI, the minimum connection time for interisland-to-interisland flights at OGG is 20 minutes.

Minimum connect time for i/i flights on Maui is 20 minutes, so you should be fine.

Not true on Maui especially during peak times. But it's still not very far, but you may have to walk from one wing to the other through the central hall.
