I'm thrilled that HP is going to be flying to Hawaii again, but . . .
has anyone looked at the new award chart? 40,000 off-peak, 50,000 peak for a coach award. Compare that to the 35,000 year-round award offered by the Star Alliance and SkyTeam airlines. Also, First awards are 80,000 off-peak and 100,000 peak, versus 80,000 year-round on Star carriers and 75,000 on SkyTeam carriers.
I think HP's awards are inconsistent with other airlines in the market and too high to be competitive with other airlines.
ALSO, per the HP website, complimentary elite upgrades will NOT extend to Hawaii flights.
