I’d like the flexibility of being able to nonrev and just showing up when convenient but not at the expense of having to sit at the terminal for multiple flights/hours on end due to being sold out. Any rec appreciated… I can also jumpseat but not sure about number of inter-island commuters. Mahalo
You'd be fine jumpseating... Try to avoid maybe between 10am-1pm. Most of our west coast flights arrive around then and many pilots try to get back to HNL early via jumpseat.
Flights every :30. You'll get on your first 1-3 attempts.
