*Effective September 1, 2015, AAdvantage members will no longer be able to book awards between Hawaii and the continental U.S. on Hawaiian Airlines

What is the  next-best option for searching for award flights from JFK-HNL (Korean), now that aa.com won't show anymore?

Korean was never on AA; that would be Delta. And to clarify, "Korean" here means using Korean miles to fly on Delta planes.

That's too bad. Do they have other AAdvantage flights to Hawaii? On AA for example.

Sure, but not direct from NY.

You still have the rest of this month to book a nonstop.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sorry. To clarify, I wanted to know the next-best option for searching award availability on the Hawaiian-metal JFK-HNL flight, that can be booked using Korean miles.

"Perhaps the biggest loss here is that we’ll lose AA.com’s excellent calendar award search to find Hawaiian award flights, which corresponded to what Korean phone agents are able to book." -from the DDMS post

You still have the rest of this month to book a nonstop.
And beginning next month, what should be my go-to website for an award search?

Which makes for a better trip - EWR-HNL United BusinessFirst, or JFK-HNL Hawaiian First Class?

United is lie-flat, while Hawaiian is recliner (not for long, though). United makes for a better trip, no doubt.

Plus FWIW, no KSML on HA.
