My advice - don't book flights until a published and detailed process is released.

My October 14 OGG-DEN flight made it through the weekend update. The fill on the 757 looks decent, but I'm not sure how many passengers will cancel - tourists on that flight are likely to travel to State earlier in October (i.e. w/ quarantine still in effect). The return flight October 21 also look like a decent load (for a flight to Hawaii nowadays).

Now OGG-DEN October 14 doesn’t appear in booking engine, but my flight hasn’t (yet) been cancelled. I’m sure that will change 
HNL-DEN still shows as bookable that date, but I doubt UA will be kind enough to cough up HA OGG-HNL. Heck, UA might be pulling HNL-DEN as I type...
October 21 DEN-OGG still on, so looks like UA might be adjusting to October 15 avoidable quarantine date.
Edit - just swapped to OGG-HNL-DEN. Fill on that Oct 14th flight looks miserable, so not putting too much faith in my Dreamliner red-eye ride happening.

Be careful when booking flights if you plan on bringing children - The Governor announced yesterday the State's testing partners won't test children under 12 and they have to quarantine

I guess UA wants to keep their 787 pilots busy. My flights HNL-DEN 10/14 and back from ORD on the 21st are both CO-configuration 788s (instead of the usual 772HDs). I hope it continues. Coach passengers should be especially happy
