Changing Iten
Tks for good fare!!!!
Got confirmation and e-ticket # as well.
Now I have to change the iten to make a stopover. I am not sure if the fare allows the stopover though.
and i am not sure if change is allowed, and can be change online. i saw a msg online to call the Hawaiian for changing the flights. Must not call \yet since this deal is not one yet.

Just remember that everything at this point is just a guess.
You might be denied boarding at Incheon.
You might get your ticket involuntarily refunded.
Once you see someone post here that "I AM GOING TO SUE",
you will be getting close to the answer you seek.

From HA Contract of Carriage.
Misfiled Fares
HA, as a policy, does not file nor intend to offer/file tickets priced at zero or near zero. Essentially, such fares do not make any economic sense. We have introduced warning mechanisms to try to prevent such occurrences; however, occasionally fares such as these mistakenly get loaded into computer reservation systems that are not controlled by HA. Agents/customers should be aware that in these circumstances they are not allowed to ticket at these fares and HA will not honor fares of zero or near zero value. In the event a zero or near zero fare is ticketed inadvertently, HA will void such ticket and may choose to waive, in its sole discretion, certain rules or restrictions of existing published fares as a gesture of good will.

Why are we going down this road already?

1) fare is NONREF and that is true
2) bags are not free (for fares with free bags it is explicitly shown; also Sabre e-ticket does not have "allowance" field) - weird for C class but... [though own HA confirmation says "first" and "first" even restricted comes with 2 free bags]
3) any changes - change fee + service fee (if at all possible).
But nice anyway)))

The OP, bobbybrown, who's an expert with KE and knows a lot about the ICN route already mentioned that this fare not that unusual for this route. So, let not jump the gun and worry about lawsuit or anything like that at this point. I'm sure that most normal U.S based travelers would not have jumped on this deal since it's not originated in the U.S. There's probably only a small number of FTers who would be interested in this deal anyway.
FYI, one-way fare from west coast to ICN costs around 500 USD at lower season. It's not error price and 500 USD was there for a few months, so please don't hurry for this ticket. SFO-ICN nonstops (OZ/KE) are usually 495 USD except Dec and May/June/July. From LAX and YVR, MU offers nice price to Seoul but requires overnight at PVG.

I'm planning a trip to Asia for next June (US-based) and looking at using this deal as a one way return to the U.S. after using miles to position myself over there. There's already some speculation RE: what could happen if they decide not to honor this. I'm willing to jump through some routing hoops to get over there for my trip, but could I get shafted if they decide not to honor this?
And thanks to BobbyBrown for posting this.
EDIT: I'm leaning towards booking this and waiting a few days to book my positioning flights to see what happens. In the event that they won't honor this, any thoughts on whether they'd allow a refund (even though it's a non-refundable fare).

In my opinion, there is a very high likelihood that they will honor this fare (for a variety of reasons, but it's too early for this discussion). There's absolutely no way they would refuse to honor it and keep your money.
