What would you do?

I’m flying DEN-HNL in early July. American has moved my original flight(through LAX) more than four hours.

Option #1- Travel through Phoenix on Airbuses and hope for an upgrade. Short layover in Phoenix. At least I’ll get free drinks in an exit row.

Option #2- Backtrack to Dallas and take the 777 to Honolulu. Minimal chance I will get upgraded to business with most of the seats filled at this time. Maybe I get upgraded to premium economy… I’ll have a longer layover and will be able to visit the Capital One lounge.

Option #3- book a direct flight on United. I’m not very enthusiastic about this idea after my last trip to Orlando with no status.
