Decent, but hardly great. These fares are 30-50% high for a great MR deal.

ah the beauty of FT
Because HNL really isn't all that great. I did it once this past November and I would do it again if the fares were actually good.

It is over 4.25 cents per EQM either way. Not really a great MR deal. HNL fares have been low lately, lower than they consistently have been in recent memory. But they are still just OK for MRs. When they get down into the sub-$300 range like CO/UA did this past Memorial Day that's when they are good run fares.
