Perfectly stated. I've been indecisive with all the what-ifs, so I appreciate the clear cut advice. I'm a bit of a miles hoarder, but this upgrade is the reason I started mildly churning in the first place.

And if $299 shows up for the return trip, I can always grab that one That one lands 8am local time, but will feel like 2am with the Hawaiian time zone difference, which isn't that bad. Will a buy up be available for that one, considering the first segment is HA from OGG-SFO, but all ticketed on UA?
