OK, sounds like the consensus is to go for it. We'll just buy a normal $73 ticket (thats the cheapest available). Does he even need to have delta attach the hawaiian part? If he's not checking bags? (not that I have much faith that the DL crew can handle that these days @ SEA) I know when you have a bag that needs to be interlined to another carrier I'd do that but should he really do something on the DL end? He's in Row 3, so assuming they use door 1 or 2 he *should* be off like a rocket. Hopefully the headwinds won't slow the DL flight down too much.

Mahalo for the thoughts!
