United Devaluation from Hawaii
January 24, 2014
In preparation for tomorrow's MileValue dinner in Honolulu with Delta Points--still a few spots left if you want one--I made three charts of the United devaluation for awards originating or ending in Hawaii.
I made the same charts for awards in all three cabins originating from the continental US.

Update 1/16/14 at 1:59 PM Hawaiian time: All the calendars shown are for one-passenger searches. There is almost no space for two passengers on the same cabin on the same flight.
Delta infamously offers the least Saver award space of any US-based airline.
