Well once one would be going, may as well go for F on that long haul.

So 250k RT in J?
Can save 10K off that by booking EWR-HNL with SQ.
Can save a lot more by not flying NH F.
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.

Just saw a video presentation on a UA flight right before departure about the Island Hopper. I've never seen it before, is this a new presentation?

You can't. It's one continuos flight. You can't just "get off and catch the next plane". There is no next plane.

I'd love to, but we're not talking about a ORD-LGA shuttle here.

The island hopper runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from MAJ to GUM.  Taking the Thursday flight means getting into GUM too late on Thursday to make it to NRT until Friday morning.  And leaving NRT on Friday morning means flying into shabbos, something I'd rather avoid.

Woa, did not realize it's now in June and not April. How much would it cost in J?

ETA: The math is right there, whoops. Except the last leg only lists X and O space/price. No J space on that leg?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
