You can do this route for under $600 if you are really keen.

V Australia is matching.

I'm seeing $545 ai on ITA SFO-SYD that includes visits to HNL in both directions. SFO-HNL-LAX and LAX-HNL-SFO could each be upgraded with one e500 if clearing prior to the gate. About 67 hours total with 8 hours for a shower and rest at NZ lounge in SYD before heading back.

Do this one 4x and you're 1K!

Yes. Do a month long search on ITA or use Kayak.

It's there, and even bookable on .bomb although you may wish to go elsewhere if you have other tricks up your sleeve. Just tried 3/9-3/11.
