Yes, they took the redeye on Delta from HNL to LAX, had an hour layover, then flew onto Las Vegas, and arrived before 7:30am. Stayed there for almost a week (after 2 in Hawaii), and then flew home. All for 30,000 miles. Has to be one of the best uses of FF miles.

The 767-400 (uncomfortable plane) is a Delta one, unfortunately. There are and have been multiple threads about it's uncomfortableness. When we flew to HNL last October it was still L1011's (which had plenty of room, but just lousy climate control).

Do you have a Delta AMEX credit card? If not, consider applying for one. The signup bonus is 10k miles for Gold ($85) and 15k miles for Platinum ($135), a quick way to get the additional miles you need.
