Coach - Partner Awards (T)
Coach - Saver Award (E)
Coach - SuperSaver Award (Inter-island/Int'l) (U)
Hawaiian is known for withholding First award inventory from partners. So the P award class is not reflective of partner award inventory. HA doesn't share their First partner award inventory, only for Coach (T class).
Thanks! That answers the question exactly. Bummer though... I was hoping all of those open HA seats could be booked. HA is doing something strange for sure though, as I know those seats were open the day before. In fact, when I searched, about 1/2 of the month had flights. Then the next day, it dwindled to only 4 days despite HA still showing them available via EF.
