Fare code KR00A0SD. T-locity also lists a DL version at $9 more. NW version allows a PDX stopover free! Seats don't look so plentiful, short-term, but if you can plan ahead to fall they look good.
This is also looking runnable if you can book at around 3 cents per EQM.

I also got the farecompare alert for Houston-HNL on DL/NW for $253
Looks good through EOS (w/ some blackouts around holidays)
DL Fare: TR00A0SD
NW Fare: KR00A0SD
Pulled up the NW fare for IAH-HNL via MSP on T-locity for $293.90 a/i in August

Availability on CLT-HNL (and probably others) looks very skimpy May-mid-June, almost nonexistent mid-June-mid-Aug, and then really opens up after Aug. 19 or so.

yeah, i can't believe this fare isn't getting more press.
- 3 cpm
- for the ATL-based flyers, a flight to CLT is $40ai to start it off
- get to fly a DL 744 out and back (if you choose that routing) - even though it'll be NW metal, still a cool experience
- NO MIN!?!
Good call, RustyC! ^ Saw this one from farecompare last night & couldn't pull the trigger. trying to decide now for an MR in late Aug...

Found one in Oct. on delta.com, but not too useful for me or for MRs. Depart CLT 10/2, return 10/13. Most other dates were in the $600+ range.

Found 3 date pairs in first half Oct. on nwa.com about 15 minutes ago, now they seem to be gone.

I should have explained more fully, but I put the "hurrys" on the OP because this looks like one of those hit-and-run attacks on competitors' hubs. I got a T-locity alert for $360 from ATL, looked at it and saw just US and AA. So I immediately checked CLT for retaliation. DL/NW have a tendency to post a really low one like $253 for only a few hours and then it reappears but for $100 or so more.
HNL is a favorite destination for this kind of inter-airline sniping.
