One point I haven't yet seen mentioned is that the HNL airport has very few food vendors outside of security and no internet access. If you have any reason to pick someone up from the airport bring food and a book with you.

We are flying KOA-HNL, followed by HNL-SAN.
We have the following options for KOA-HNL departure times:
HA 704am
Go 755am
HA 828am
Go is $30 or $40 cheaper than HA.
We then take AS HNL-SAN at 1150 on a separate PNR. (Due to using Avios).
Which flight do fellow travellers think we should take?

Hawaiian Airlines is No#1 for Safety, Comfort, On-time performance
Don't even dream about taking Go Airlines. Any perceived savings are a distant memory once the flight is delayed or cancelled....both of which happen freqently with GO.
You should be fine with the 0828 HA flight. As you are on a separate PNR and not flying all Hawaiian...you will be required to fetch your bags at HNL , recheck -in and go through Security again. This process can be lengthy..and I would recommend roughly 150 mins to do so without being rushed.

If you search YV (go!) on FT there are some interesting threads.
Too bad AS doesn't serve KOA nonstop from SAN yet... they do for the other major islands

A few questions that don't seem to be addressed in the 1st post (maybe update 
):
(1) Which terminal services AS (which has greatly expanded service here over the last few years?)
(2) Current HNL website map shows AA (Qantas) lounge at gate 26, but 1st post shows AA flights departing gates 16-20 which are in a different pier. Is this correct?
(3) Re-confirm that I will not need to re-clear security if I walk from United pier to Alaska pier (both domestic mainland flights) (and how long will that take?)
Would like to use United Club before my Alaska flights. Thanks!

plane spotting can be had. I'd say the DL club is the most convenient to AS, however with the recent devaluation, I'd visit the UA Club.

I'm not sure how you will gain access to the United Club, as they will ask for your UA boarding pass.
