Here goes:
I though the discount for Hawaiian mileage members was only when booking via Hawaiian.
Since i booked via united miles i called to ask them if i would still get discount. They added my Hawaiian mileage number over the phone.
Heres the problem though. Since i booked from LIH straight to EWR on united stopping over in HNL-they side i would be charged full baggage prices like a hawaiian to mainland trip.
1. If i could somehow get united to split the reservation i might save 50 bucks.
2. This exercise might be futile because im going to ask them to interline the baggage anyway.
3. Any ideas or tricks to save at this stage?
