I have done that before in the past and sometimes the one way fares match the Round Trip fares and other times the One way fares are more. However in this case I forgot to mention that I have that one time 25% Round Trip Discount that I want to use for 2. Since I will be traveling with a total party of 4 I will use award points for 2 and use the 25% discount and pay for the other two tickets.

Since the fare for the LAX-HNL and LAX-HNL-OGG (connection in HNL) flights are the essential the same price for cash and award, it would make sense to book the LAX-HNL-OGG and miss the HNL-OGG connection for the 1st weeks stay in Oahu then only have to book a OW fare from HNL-OGG. The 2nd week in Maui would not be an issue for the return home.

Does anyone know if we could get our Luggage in HNL for the LAX-HNL-OGG flight? What would be the consequence of missing the HNL-OGG connnection?
