I tried joining expertflyer, thinking that would help, but with the membership I got I could not check multiple dates. AA has a feature when you are purchasing flights that you can check prices for 30 days at a time, but I could not find a way to do that with miles.

Has it gotten more difficult to get first class seats with miles? My husband is a gold aadvantage member. I know I can call, but would like to avoid the charge and we are flexible with our dates. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Try finding seats to HNL then book an interisland flight to OGG or book coach seats and upgrade - that way you get some miles - although only the miles for the original class booked.

You'll need A class availability to upgrade.
