United Island Hopper from HNL-GUM Xmas Week 27.5k one way (or 55k r/t)
« on: August 28, 2020, 12:04:35 AM »
~$2200 cash value
That's a value of 4.8 cents per point versus TPG's valuation of United miles at 1.3 cents per point - not too shabby

+1, I would do it again in a heartbeat but only in F, it's brutal in Y. I at least had F on GUM-ROR but I only did that because it wasn't available in Y, cost me an extra 30k UA x2.

How would you book Island hopper? DO you have to book each leg separately under advance search?

Nope! Generally, you book a mileage ticket from HNL to GUM, making sure that the flight has four connections. You will be booking UA 154.
