I will continue to check back here, divilish, and let you know if and when I get the booking.
CO doesn't often release standard award space at the 330-day mark by default. While you can book 330-days out, standard space usually opens within 270 days or so.
Also, think about all the ways to get from the New York area (EWR/JFK/LGA) to HNL using CO partners (mix/match) and up to 1 connection.
If you do this homework ahead of time, it will help in the event you get a less-than-creative agent who checks straight CO only and tells you nothing's available. If you post them here, we can respond with any routes you might have missed.
