Also reaffirmed that AQ assigned F class seats for interisland flights... Personally, I don't think it is worthwhile for F on such short flights. You get pretty much same service as Y, and there is nothing much that they can do.
For the long haul, I think $1000USD RT on AQ is well worth the money between HNL and OAK. But for short hops, I don't think it is worthwhile.
