With Hawaiian, its around 8 hours to LAX. No thanks!
This is exactly why I don't visit the mainland unless I absolutely have to -- regardless of airline. Even a mid-day 5h flight leaves plenty of useful time on each end; with a layover, I basically lose a day of billable hours coming and going.

I don't use either one, so this is valuable information to me.

The next time you fly United from Hilo to LA, here's some info that's good to know.
If you get bumped, the maximum voucher they're allowed to offer is $10,000. On a recent flight from Dulles to Austin, the aircraft had a broken seat and when they couldn't find a volunteer to accept a voucher, they told a woman with the lowest paid fare she had to accept a voucher and stay behind. She told them no voucher, she wanted $2000 in cash, so they raised the offer to a $10,000 voucher. They wouldn't let her in the United lounge when she asked though. Guess they had to draw the line somewhere:

If she used the voucher for a 1st class roundtrip to Europe, which is probably the going rate, they would have to let her into the United lounges at various airports!
Great story, thank you!
