Thanks. That makes sense, though it's still a bit odd considering the usual Easter and summer surges of traffic to Hawaii ex continental USA.

But the Hawaiian destinations have been deleted from this tariff so maybe someone agrees with you
Especially as the last time I bought an F fare on US-HNL, it cost a lot more than I usually pay for DUB-HNL in J/F

DUB has a US pre clearance station. If you are flying from DUB directly to the US, you will clear customs at DUB and arrive at the US terminal as though you were on a domestic flight.
However there is always a chance of strong headwinds on that crossing. I would allow a bit of extra time. You do not really want your itinerary screwed up on the first flight.
The transpacific red eye is fairly brutal, no lie flats of course and indeed little in the way of service (although this has improved, I was on AA 298 earlier this month and there was dinner). Nonetheless I would not recommend it if you can avoid it.

UA (LH/AC metal) DUB-HNL P FARE 1275 EUROS.
Found on LH website and bookable via Lufthansa.com
Valid 3/19/16 until 4/18/16 and from 7/1/16 until 8/31/16
DUB-HNL via FRA and YVR on LH then AC to HNL or SFO on UA.
Sample dates Out 4/6/15 DUB-FRA-YVR-HNL (LH983-LH492-AC1831)
Rtn 4/9/16 HNL-YVR-FRA-DUB (AC1830-LH493-LH980)
P fare, books into business on all legs (including UD on LH 747-400)
1274.69 for 33630 miles PQM, and 39,000 RDM if credited to UA MP. (Hopefully I have got that right about P fares earning 200% on both LH and AC metal after 1/1/16)
Posted with European UA members in mind who don't have PQD requirements.

[so it does seem to confirm the rumours that most probably the previously filed fares were only intended for destinations on the continent and they magically added the islands to them
]Still gutted that I did not snap up one of them fast enough before it was pulled....as I had a really good routing to maximize the miles.

That sounds more or less the expected value for these promo I fares as always have been.
