Whatever you do, for your own sake, please do not fly US to Hawaii. They use poorly maintained 757's. I flew one of the "Hawaii 757's" from ORD-PHX and I was shocked how crappy it was. My first class seat was broken and would slowly recline without pushing the recline button and if I sat up the seat would automatically spring forward. There have also been reports of mechanical issues with these planes. Yes, every plane has mechanical issues, but I have heard of more problems from these planes including several engine issues on takeoff.

UA has a nice calendar award search tool. It is 35k miles per ticket for economy and 75k miles per ticket for business. The following are available dates for 2 Saver Seats from SAN-HNL.

DEPARTURE:

Sept: 7th, 11th, 12th, 25th, 26th
Oct: 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 30th
Nov: 5th, 6th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 22nd, 27th, 28th, 29th

RETURN:

Sept: 9th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 25th, 28th
Oct: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st
