IMO RST is useless.............if you want to add 4:30 hour layovers each way it's fine though, assuming your plan starts............yes I missed a flight at MSP where I was supposed to arrive over 4 hours BEFORE it departed

We fly about 6 times a year and the one time I tried to use RST the plane wouldn't start, this was the first flight of the day and we sat on the plane for over 2 hours waiting for a part which did not fix the problem.......since I live 20 minutes away I asked to get off and be rebooked the next day but they wouldn't let me off the plane...............they sent a bus to RST to take us to MSP and I missed my connection.

On the way back I had a 5 hour layover in MSP for a 20 minute flight to RST....Never again.

But anyway I did search the outbound leg it would be depart RST at 6 am connecting flight leaves MSP at 11:30 am nonstop to HNL..............4 1/2 hour layover assuming all goes well.

I also paid $1800 per seat, flight today is over $3,000 per seat one way.
