Nicely done.

Does anyone know if ANA adds on fuel surcharges for redemption on Hawaiian Airlines? Thanks to someone's post up thread, I was looking into ANA partner redemption options. I think from the best option from the east coast might be using ANA miles.

JFK-HNL-PPT return all in Y for 65,000 ANA miles.

The next best option might be:
EWR-HNL return on UA Y for 40,000 miles + HNL-PPT on HA for 38,000 ANA miles for 78,000 miles total.

I am just not sure how much ANA will add on.
