I tried to book interislands flights in Hawaii using frying club mileages.
I was told from many posts on the internet that I can book a round trip flight with just 6000 mileages.
However, the representative told me that they charge 15,000 mileages for round trip. I tried it between HNL and LIH(KAUAI) & between HNL and ITO(HILO). I called them up three times and all of them told me that they charges
15,000 miles for round trip.
When I looked into Hawaiian airline web site, I can see 15,000 mileage reward ticket. As you know, 15,000 mileage is the minimum in Hawaiian airline.
Could you let me know why they charge more than 6000 miles?
Do you have any experiences on that?
Thanks.

Wow, this really changes things! I'd called them last week and was still quoted 6k miles roundtrip. They found availability for the HNL-LIH flight on the day I wanted, but couldn't sell LIH-OGG (the agent said perhaps HA doesn't make that available to VA).
I didn't have the Flying Club miles yet anyway, but got the card a few days ago and was really hoping to use this award redemption. Bummer that it might be gone!
