Very interesting about the "Hidden City". Never knew there was a term for it. The things I learn on here...

I did speak with the HA Call Center and they stated that I could get off in HNL for the LAX-HNL-OGG segment and miss the final leg and get my luggage in HNL and the Return flight from OGG-HNL-LAX will not be affected.

I asked the same question several different ways to make sure this was the case and the CS Rep insisted there would be no issue. Will try to speak with another rep to see if that is HA's official stance.
