But that cost EUR300 - and I lost 2 x half days out of my holiday for the extra travelling. So in some cases, it may be better to pay the stopover fee.
In fact, just checking - doubling back from HNL to LAX/LAS in Economy in March on AA would cost between EUR425-EUR700 anyway, so yes, better to pay the stopover fee for that trip - if that's what I wanted to do.
Another option is to do and open jaw LUX-HNL then LAX-LUX and buy one way from HNL to LAX.
