I would try calling again and hopefully this time around you will get it. Time is of the essence when it comes to QF F awards.
I heard this from multiple agents, one appeared to research the issue and returned to the line seemingly reading the rule that HNL can be an origin or destination but not a stopover point.

The other explanation might be that AS won't route you through HNL, and QF isn't the issue. But keep calling back.

Too bad missy is up to her eyeballs in Malbec and beef...she'd probably be able to find the answer.
I found QF seats using KVS but had to settle for HNL-SYD-LAX-SEA... would love to be corrected and find out that I can add in the SEA-HNL leg (and a bit of an HNL stopover )
