We'll be a travelling family for 4 (two adults and two 3-yr-olds). Does it really matter whether I book a intermediate or fullsize vehicle (i.e. would I get the same vehicle selection due to my Executive status?) I don't mind paying a little extra if there is truly a benefit.
HNL can be a crapshoot sometimes. Personally I would book ICAR and take your chances. You may end up with something great on the aisle, but worse case, you can always ask for something from the SCAR/FCAR lane. It is counter service here so it may be easier to work an upgrade (depends who you get).
