For the record, we did not pay cash or nor did we buy our tickets at the last minute. Nor were our flights to OGG one way tickets. We purchased seperate, round trip tickets from LAX to OGG and back on Continental. We did have a seperate reservation however from LAX-MSP. Perhaps that influenced what happened, because we did check our bags through to MSP from OGG. Another thing I noticed on out itinerary is that our incoming flight from HNL to OGG is listed as a Continental codeshare on Hawaiian, the outgoing flight from OGG to HNL has just a Hawaiian flight number.
