Most of the dates it costs double to book a A380 round trip flight to HNL than to use another carrier or aircraft. That is why I dont know if this is just me being cheap, or that ANA prefers selling these in packages, because I dont see the point of spending double just to ride the A380
Also, for this route I am not familiar, but for the China-US routes, I do have friends they purchased more expensive tickets simply because they heard good things about ANA and they just wanted to fly ANA, let alone ANA on a A380. (I even decided to transfer at NHL to Tokyo instead of direct fly to Tokyo because of this).
Not everyone is searching tickets like us, actually majority of them first look at the airline website they heard about instead of starting from the search engine, they might want to book a cheap deal, but they do not know how to.
