So, giving yourself three hours on the ground gives you some extra time in case there is an unlikely IRROPS major delay getting from OGG-HNL.

Would it be better for me to purchase my HA ticket through UA with miles and try to have them join the PNR? Is that possible since they weren't booked together?
