I just stumbled across this thread which answers almost entirely the questions I had, props to slippahs. I just wanted to clarify a few things to be sure I understood everything:
- I have booked a CDG (Paris) - HNL flight, which goes through Minneapolis. I am not a US citizen so I guess I will have to go through the customs at Minneapolis.
- I now want to book a flight from HNL to Maui on a separate ticket. I'm supposed to land at 8:21pm and I noticed a flight for Maui at 9:47pm. Do you reckon I will have enough time to catch it ? I don't know if I will have to get my luggage and check-in again or not, since I'm not sure the company I fly on (Air France + Delta) is a Hawaiian partner.

Thanks in advance.
Delta is a partner of Hawaiian. (FYI, I think the only European airline they partner with is Virgin). When you re-check your bags in Minneapolis (after clearing customs), you should be able to check your bags straight through to Maui. (AA does this, so I would assume their other domestic partners do also.)
