I would think that since UA issued the ticket, OP should go to UA... I don't think Island Air would be able to do much.
Could be 1 ticket or 2 tickets, it's how its fared. Is OP flying LAX-OGG-LAX, changing in HNL or is he flying LAX-HNL-LAX with a nested jaunt to OGG inbetween and thus two
itineraries
In fairness, this is hard because the term "itinerary" is not defined in the rule. All ties go to the regulated party, namely the air carrier. The vagaries of faring will likely be the deciding factor. If the LHR-LAX were paid travel, the itinerary could arguably be LHR-OGG via LAX, HNL and thus the UA TATL allowance apply.
