Having a hard time finding a routing of greater than 5000 miles each way. It's routable through SFO/PDX (free stopover in the latter), but this doesn't increase the mileage. Best way to go appears to be EWR-MSP-HNL on the 333. PK036 works for some dates in March, and brings the total to $323.14.

Been looking at this deal since it came up....looks like the fare allows codeshares, so NW's site is showing some CO flight segments available for the EWR-MSP legs.
Interesting fare details/notes: allows 2x transfers in each direction, limiting chances for racking up miles, but it does allow some routing choices...
Then this tidbit about stopovers: "2 FREE STOPOVERS PERMITTED - 1 IN EACH DIRECTION IN HNL/ PDX. AND - 2 STOPOVERS PERMITTED - 1 IN EACH DIRECTION IN SEA/ LAX/SFO AT USD 55.81 EACH"

This is a pretty great deal if you can get routed on 98/99, the non-stop from MSP. They do offer SA/DoD upgrades for $350, which is a steal considering that flight offers WBC seats.
Even Y has the vastly improved product on the 333s.

There are still some of these, for instance I got a EWR-HNL allowing me 6 nights in HNL for $393 round trip all in, in January. Unfortunately, when I tried to add my legs from MSY, I got an error message stating no service from MSY-EWR. I'm only a little bitter.

Beware of the MSP-OGG "direct" flight (NW95). It'll knock some miles off and eliminate EUA chances on MSP-SEA. Also, note that if you include a HA codeshare (OGG-HNL), you can't use a PK cert to bring the price down.
