Right -- we only go to OGG/KOA, and we only fly non-stop. We also only like mid/late-morning departure from Bay Area and early afternoon departure from Hawaii.

Problem with HA is that you have to go OAK or SJC, both of which I am not a fan, but with a round-trip fare in F for roughly $1,400, and UA in Y from SFO for $900-$1,100 or F for $2,500 (peak spring break season) on a POS 753, I'll take an Uber to SJC/OAK and fly HA.
