If TKK, PNI, KSA, KWA, and MAJ aren't shown as "via points," I can't manually add them in.
For something like SPN-HNL, United.com should show it automatically if the Hopper operates on that day. (Keep in mind, it only operates a couple of times a week). However, if it’s not appearing, try multi-city search (SPN-GUM + GUM-HNL).
