This is a gamble that I will definitely avoid.

If you only need 1 ticket, it is okay to do so. But you are betting for 5-6 tickets to a popular vacation destination, which HA only offers at best 1 flight/day. The worst is you don't even know if this bet will pay off or not. It is simply not worth the trouble.

If lie-flat is so important and you don't mind transit, you can do EWR-SFO/LAX-HNL. EWR-SFO/LAX is UA's p.s. routes that is served by lie-flat seats (sold as BusinessFirst). In that case, you will have 6 hours of lie-flat each way.
