Flight is to due to arrive from mainland into HNL at 5:50pm on NWA. Would like to purchase HA ticket with a departure to KOA at 6:25pm. Next flight would be 7:45pm. I know that if the plane arrives on time I can walk from NWA gate to the interisland terminal in plenty of time. My concern is if my flight is late coming in would HA protect us on the next flight even though I violated the min. connection time?

This would not be until 2/17/07. I also wanted to purchase tickets now before the lower fare class fills up. If NWA changes their schedule from now until then that would cause me to misconnect would HA still charge me for needed later departure?
