I recently redeemed my United miles for a trip to Kauai this August. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to find Saver awards in both directions on reasonable dates, however they required an interline connection between UA and HA (which is kind of a plus for me as I'll get to fly on a 717 for the first time).
My outbound flights are SFO-HNL on UA and HNL-LIH on HA. Return is LIH-KOA on HA and KOA-SFO on UA.
I assume my flight to HNL will arrive at the Overseas Terminal and the inter-island flight will depart from the Interisland Terminal. Are those two terminals connected behind security? I've got nearly 3 hours to connect, but I'd rather not have to go through another TSA screening if I don't have to.
For the return flights, I see that KOA has two "concourses", and I read somewhere that there were plans to connect them behind security. Has then been completed, or should it be by August? From what I could glean from looking at each airlines' websites it looks like they're in different concourses there.
