Anyone with any advice on Non-Reving NY-Hawaii around Aug 18th. My furlough travel benefits run out end of Aug, and wanted to go to Hawaii. Is there any chance of making it there? What day of the week is the best day to non-rev? Which airport is the best? I know how to use jetnet, but this far out it is no good for predicting loads, I figured someone would have general knowledge of what it has been like in the past. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Well, mid week tends to be best but if I heard correctly your trip will become more of a challenge.

According to the Market Changes star, SFO-OGG ends on Aug 23 and SJC-OGG ends on Jul 2, SJC-HNL will end on Jul 2. So, you may wish to consider an alternate destination.
 
August is traditionally the highest load factor month in the industry too. Full flights as everyone else is on vacation.
 
If your travel benefits end at the end of the month, and you're leaving the 18th, shouldn't you be more worried about getting home?

A one-way flight from Hawaii to home would be mighty expensive.
