SJC-AUS.
Yeah, but what's more likely to work for timing and frequency: BOI-SJC-AUS, or BOI-SEA/PDX-AUS?

for OGG I'd be happy with a setup similar to what HA offers (and AQ did) with a room accessible with a number, yielding free wifi, POG, and a couple snacks...
I suppose, but I just don't see it adding much revenue. I'd surmise that a lounge in OGG is like the people asking for extra hours in the ANC BR: basically turns it into a free bar for people waiting who'd be waiting anyway, doesn't actually add to AS's bottom line in BR subscribers.

One might note that the HNL lounge offerings are pretty pedestrian:

Again, I think it's because you have better places to be than in airports when you're in Hawaii, so they just don't bother trying very hard to make the clubs good.
