Found a single seat on a flight on Monday March 23 to SIN, but it got taken in the time the friend was trying to book.

Any other ideas? Getting to any airport in the US would be fine at this point, but even the flights just to HNL are fully booked.
Fiji air still flies to Singapore, and United and SQ from here. That's one option.
