Just E500s? No CR1s? No secret handshake?

Well you do earn those love Cr-1's every quarter.

As to the handshake it goes something like this:

1...2...3...4 I declare a 1K vs. GS war!

Has anyone given thought to doing the walk with Pat on the 17th?

I think it would be a fun thing to do if you have been to HNL before and aren't inclined to do the tourist stuff?

Wish I could make it.. I'll be in London that time for work.

However, I'm going to HNL 1 week later on the 24th; never been there so looking forward to it. Have fun, that should be a great flight!

Yup. The CR1s and secret handshake come with 1k status. Sorry DD.

Though I would advise taking the earlier flights to HNL on the 16th:
Flight 73 the 9:05am dep. has 9 still in X=NF
Flight 75 the 12:45pm dep. has 3 still in X=NF
Considering the current fare is over $1,100 it seems like a pretty bad value for a MR...

Give it a few weeks, me thinks, when UA realizes they're not selling seats at that price...

For a few days this past week the fare dropped to $390.90 on all flights but the party flight, so I didn't bother posting here. Then it occurred to me there are a few on other flights as hsxagent posted; maybe enough people will come over on other flights to create a multi-mega-inflight-do? So if I see another drop I will post here.

Edit to add: The 3-day minimum stay fare is now $374-382.

Oh my, that didn't take long. As Pat pointed out... we can now fly Fri-Mon for < $400 each, which isn't bad... And if I don't want to burn up 4 CR-1s, 16AB is available on both flights...

Oh! To have to make a decision quick!!!

(The main decision issue for us is we have friends in Kona on the Big Island, so for $50 more I might want to buy SFO-HNL-KOA-SFO and spend Sunday Monday over there visiting with them...)

Well, I've got something on hold now... gotta decide soon...

Sounds like you have already decided. Should I expect to see you on UA 75?

I just have to make sure I won't be somewhere way East of there for work around that weekend and then I'll be able to ticket... 75 it'll be.

I guess I should see what hotel is available too...
