UA: LAX-SFO-HNL-GUM-HKG 3.9CPM $675 17278mi
Originally found by TFD working off the DL fare. I was able to compile a island hopper fare for a decent CPM.

Showing $675/3.9CPM for Monday departures in Feb. 7 day stays, different duration for a bit more. Haven't played around with it too much. Can anyone comment on using a RPU for the allowable segments?

sorry, is it possible to actually incorporate the island hopper in this fare? i think OP is calling his fare "an" island hopper, but i would be interested in using this fare to fly "the" island hopper.

It is possible to book the true island hopper, seems to cost slightly more. I'm getting $738 for at least one date, with the island hopper through MAJ, KSA, etc. Long time in 737 Y though. I want to fly the route but it feels like a long time to spend in Y, even with being able to get off the plane frequently during the island hopper itself.

). Trying to see if I could make one set of dates work though, as I could possibly get away with missing a day then. Not likely to spend too long in HKG though. But thanks for the offer and I might take you up on it.

I've wanted to do the IH trip for a while now - and would be interested what dates you come up with. Good fare! Could be a DO...
