You all remember how Northwest gave passenger info to the government and lied about it, right? So maybe nothing can be done about it... but lets not be naive.
One way tickets aren't more expensive. For round-trip tickets around the islands, you're paying two one-way fares. So a one-way fare is just a one-way fare...

Something leads me to believe that this is the problem. Since the outgoing flight had only a Hawaiian number (and the return to OGG was a CO codeshare), it was likely that Hawaiian
thought you were on a one-way flight (even though you really weren't--but we're talking Hawaiian here...). That's automatic flags for HA (IME and from what others say) and that goes for your wife too since she had been flying the same itin.

FWIW, I still can't understand why this thread is on the NW board?
