Thanks. robbeck1, you got me thinking.
HNL clearance will be another challenge I'm not looking forward to and we still have a shot at F with EXP especially connecting DFW or LAX and avoiding Sat/Sun. That's how we got the $800 voucher in the first place.
Also, I've edited the OP to more accurately reflect my questions.
Thanks for your thoughts.
