what?? Yeah, no wonder you got a better price then. Among the 19 other ways in which that would work out to be cheaper, that fare wouldn’t have the special surcharge for the Hopper.
To be clear — HNL-GUM-NRT-ORD-DCA is absolutely not a valid route on any HNL-DCA fare that I can find, for rather obvious reasons. :-) (It’s in the range of 150% longer than the nonstop distance).
Are you sure it didn’t price as WAS-HNL+HNL-NRT?
