Folks are not allowed to offer you GGUs here, only in other fora.
The flights I'm targeting have U4 availability, so I was thinking of using miles for at least the outbound, where the main cabin fare is equal to the 'upgrade with miles' fare, although I'm hoping this goes down if WN ever starts flying to Hawaii as it's a pretty high fare. The GGU fare on the return isn't too much higher than the main cabin fare, but I'm leery of trying to procure GGUs via Coupon Connection (never traded before).

Thanks VegasGambler for all the info on PC seats - if they don't fill up, we may have a decent chance of snagging two of those and only paying for one.
