Personally, I would prefer HNL-ORD-LGA which leaves HNL around 4:30 pm. A nice long red-eye in a 763. Second chocie is HNL-DFW-LGA (or JFK) on 102 which is the second departure ex-HNL and leaves around 6p-7p.
Connecting at HNL from the Neighbor Island is not a problem. Worst case its about a 15 minute walk from one gate to the other and if you are an AC member, the AC is half way between the two.
Would that i could take either of these options (especially since LGA is much more convenient for me than JFK). Unfortunately, I am flying with people who are using miles and there is no availability on anyting x-HNL other than LAX.
