Thanks for all the replies ! I need to decipher all this over some wine :-)

HNLbasedtraveler, aren’t the award or saver flights available for a limited time ? I’ve always heard the earlier the better . But it would make sense they release more of them later on if they aren’t getting their planes filled up . My other issue is I need to get a condo booked in Kauai that tends to fill up almost a year in advance . Cant do that until I have my flights secured .
