By Hawaii standards, this is a good deal. UA bay Area-hawaii fares have been hovering over $600 for awhile now, they cost about the same as EWR-HNL!

I think sub 300 for west coast to Hawaii is always a good rate... Maybe not for a MR though

Good fare - maybe even great.
AS has been working for a while to dominate the Bay Area market to the islands with various promotions and discounts.

Seems like all the Dec and later are out of the seats for $456, keep getting $500+ which isn't horrible, but I like getting the lowest price

A single datapoint: there may have been changes, but I got a visa to Uzbekistan with no problems last summer. Expensive, but IIRC, not the headache that Chinese visas are since 8/1. YMMV.

The VS deal is also available from NYC for $437, though it's operated by VS so I don't know how good it is for mileage runners. Still, great fare.

I've checked a couple of January dates and it looks like the deal is also good from IAD for $489. Books on VS metal so not sure about mileage...

Second this. I'd prefer NYC and VS metal...

I haven't done a thorough search but I saw some dates in december and january. Use ITA if you have specific dates in mind.

Sample dates: 1/9-1/16

Did anyone else notice VS fares (on direct, VS metal instead of US) dropping to £265 return LON - NYC for an hour or so earlier on today? It was bookable for a very short period on Expedia etc but disappeared soon after (at the same as the LHR - PHL fare went). Wish I'd been a bit quicker on this one!
