Glad I checked this off the bucket list long ago.
As a point of reference, I booked an all business class cabin itinerary with no 24+hour stopovers: HNL-MAJ-PNI-TKK-GUM-MNL-TPE-DPS (UA, BR) with a return three days later DPS-SIN-MNL-NRT-GUM-HNL (SQ, NH, UA) in January 2026 for 100K each way. If you search out of HNL starting at about 330 days in advance, you can find a few business class hopper routings if you are flexible on start date and look for an end destination beyond just ending in GUM; in my case, I end my itinerary in DPS (Bali) but get extra business class segments MNL (UA), TPE (BR), DPS (BR), which is the cherry on the top. There is the inconvenience of more connections, some a few hours and some are overnight. Unfortunately, this particular trip that starts on a Saturday morning out of HNL does not make the stops in KWA and KSA but I did that five-island trip earlier this year so the full experience was not as important to me this time.
