Yep which is a shame!!

You need to pay $200 to get FF points, a refundable ticket and lounge access!

Im flying with Hawaiin Airlines for my Honeymoon this July (Outside School Holidays) going:

SYD - HNL - SFO
LAS - HNL
HNL - SYD

If the flight is not booked out is it worth the upgrade to Business class on the first Leg of SYD - HNL, Plus does anyone know how much it would set me back these day???

Cheers

The paid upgrade to HA J class is currently USD750, and they sell like hot cakes every night so if you want one check-in early. Not sure what the cost is domestically.

HA will also deploy their new A332 on HNL-SFO soon and it already flies LAS-HNL so you should be in luck there.

HA has recently upgraded their service on the SYD sector and J now has a revamped menu and 'proper' pillows and duvets, not to mention the 2x32Kg bag allowance.

I received a new itinerary about 20 hours ago - my on sale StarClass fare has been turned in to a Business Max ticket.

My bad - they're currently $700, not $750.

Post Dinner in HNL tonight

Enjoyed a BBQ dinner with UA 747 Capt Mike Scott at the Hawaii Yacht Club in HNL this evening. He sends his regards to all the 'old' SAMB members!

Nice place for dinner too!

So can you still on checkin upgrade to StarClass for $AUD250? And do you just ask at a normal check-in counter?

Any further news on the conversion of QF3/4 to A332/333 ?

My plans have been pushed out to 2012. Nothing finite at this stage but just thought I would check.

Thanks in advance.
