Got offered a bid up about a week prior for SJC-HNL for flight on Monday 10/17.

Bid $250 for 2 pax, which was more than the minimum $205, right at the Poor/Fair line on the "chance of success-o-meter" on the invite. (good/recommended bid was $460).

I've been watching the open first seats, they just haven't sold despite the HA price dropping steadily as the date approaches. This route was already on a special deal for coach.

Anyway, bid was accepted and we'll have good seats up front for a nearly 6 hour leg, coming from New York, eventually to LIH and ITO.
