Aloha
Well just a follow-up. We took Peteropny's (mahalo)advice and took the $500 cert. We used it to book a R/T HNL-SFO. The current fare is about $730., so net to us was $230.ea. Hawaiian air was much less and we do like them but it all worked out.
We needed to get to SFO to start our trip to FLL for a cruise on the Mariner to Monte Carlo.
So thanks to all for your input.
