OP here.....as Rag stated, when I went in to make the reservation for a multi-city same day award (DFW-OGG on AA metal, OGG-KOA on HA metal), it gave me the error code, but when I went to My Trips it showed up as "On Request on 08/29/22" under My Trips.
The itinerary showed as an 87,500 biz ticket DFW-OGG (AA metal) and a 7,500 coach ticket OGG-KOA (HA metal), together in one reservation for 95,000 miles and $5.60. I called and asked an agent to ticket it. She said it would be no problem. A few minutes later she said that it was under "Q Review" and then several minutes later she said that it couldn't be ticketed. She said that it was not possible to book those the DFW-OGG (AA metal) and OGG-KOA (HA metal) awards on one ticket. The would have to stay separate PNRs with no protection and no baggage transfer.
I have a very vague recollection of a discussion a few years back (pre-covid). AA-HA connections, and HA's angst over baggage issues and ability/inability to collect appropriate bag fees. It centered around bag fees and expectations from customers that their AA FF elite class benefits would carry over to the inter-island HA operated connections. Service class, number of bags, overweight articles, etc. Wonder if this is possibly related?
