All I know is that next year, we'll be using our AS companion fares early and often for F tickets to LIH or HNL. I would much rather pay 600 bucks each for 1.5 Miles for a guaranteed F seat (be it what it is) than fly another freaking mileage run in December.

That said, I would suggest ORD, BOS and MCO. MCO would have the best weather of the three.
