When I recently bought a November roundtrip from Hilo to DFW on the new Continental flight, it was $610 all taxes included. Not only did I avoid the HNL connection (and cost) on HA, but it was $150 cheaper than routing through HNL on a HA code share with another airline. Just for grins, I checked some flights from Hilo to a number of cities on Continental, and the best deals were on flights with onward connections beyond LAX or SFO.
