Got the same email myself. Was checking fares from ITO today (btw, wish AS served ITO, maybe one day- if anything for the approach

- watched a NAC 734 and HA 717 on final today)

I don’t think people should be using these codes as mileage run opportunities. The intention is to help the Maui economy. Doing a MR turn to OGG does not help the locals.

Ok... if one is spending time on Island for the day, buying food and using services, I think this does contribute. Not as much as overnighting a few nights, but still helps. Keeps hotels free for others who need on island too.

The email offer had a few options, didn't check pricing. Also didn't really look at rental cars as dates appear to be a bit restrictive for me (I'm occupied during reasonable airfares).
