I'm guessing maybe, if they check my bags all the way through so we don't have to collect & re-check in HNL then they could, theoretically charge $25?
Assuming same itinerary, you should probably be prepared to pay $25 and they will check them through to your final destination.
If your flights are on separate itineraries, they may not check your bags through. Then it would be just $17, and the entire baggage/security/recheck dance in HNL.
