Good morning! Let me unconfuse you. Our friend divilish was bemoaning his fate of not finding a satisfactory inventory of reasonable award tix to Hawai'i, plus airline websites lacking certain features and benefits in general. I posted that the inventory and features he wishes for in a website ARE available on-line, just RESERVED for ELITE STATUS holders. Most airlines' top tier benefits are roughly equivalent, so I see HA as offering a substantial discount to other carriers vis a vis top tier status for 40K, vs. 100K for the rest. Let me clear everything up: divilish: You will see award tix availability go up as you gain status with your airline.
