Hawaii is far away. You are talking 5+ hours even from the west coast. In my experience, the longer the flight the higher chance people pay for E+. I flew United last year on NRT-IAD as a no-status passenger and I paid for E+. The service was absolutely abysmal (really, really, rude FAs) but I was nonetheless happy to have the extra space.

What I don't understand is the people who pay for E+ (MCE, Comfort+, etc) on 500-mile E175 flights (and yes, they exist).
