As jsloan said, terrible. There are 3 seats left, total, for people to buy in the next three weeks. The odds of them selling those are very high.

Polaris is only for long-haul international flights. LAX-HNL on the 28F 777-200 (77G) will have lie-flat seats up front in a 2-4-2 configuration and standard domestic First service.

One RPU should really only cover all segments in one region in one direction, so just HNL-DEN. You should call and see what you can apply it to though. I've never actually though of trying to RPU one journey with RPU-eligible segments in different regions joined by a non-eligible segment but I don't think that can be done with a single RPU.
