So we are trying HA which departs LAX 10AM and arrives HNL at 2PM.
In years past, I often got the upgrade with an RPU, but that also changed (for the worse).
Earlier in the year SFO-HNL, SFO_KOA and SFO-OGG were the only routes I was clearing my instruments (GPU/RPUs) but for the past 6 months things have gotten tougher as tourism returned to the Islands. Had it not been for the Hawaii runs I don't think I would have cleared 3 instruments all year. I have been so frustrated I have jumped ship and have been using AS in and out of the Islands on my 2019 trips.
