UA - HNL-GUM or GUM-HNL (Island Hopper) - $1489+ one-way - Business

Not the lowest price I have ever seen on the United Island Hopper, but the lowest price in a while, so I'll post it.

United filed a new fare discounting the Island Hopper between May 27, 2023 and June 27, 2023. On the one-way journey you can include up to two stopovers - one free and another for $75 if you'd like. Ticket must be issued by June 27, 2023.

Economy is also discounted if you would rather fly this in economy or if you're not looking to spend quite as much!

For those unfamiliar with the United Island Hopper, it's a flight from Honolulu to Guam or the reverse that stops at several islands in Micronesia and the Marshall Islands as it flies along its route between HNL/GUM. Go search Google if you want to know more. Traditionally it was flights UA154 (HNL-GUM) / UA155 (GUM-HNL).

Not sure what happened to UA154, the hopper from HNL to GUM, but it looks like it is cancelled every day when viewing flight tracking online and UA isn't selling the ticket during the entire promo period. They are operating UA132 which stops at MAJ-PNI-TKK between HNL and GUM on June 21 and June 25 only.
