I’ve been looking lately at HI flights lately and I’ve noticed that any leg that involves a HNL HA inter island connection to be more expensive (~$200 OW) than flying on all DL Metal. I tend to avoid HA itineraries when departing HI as since HA isn’t a ST or DL JV partner, you still have to pay for luggage (this isn’t a problem when going to HI as you are checking in with DL).
