I agree and I'm doing the same thing. I got 2 roundtrips from Kona to Portland Oregon for $800.00. Hilo to Portland was $1300. Kona has "10" non stop mainland "daily" flights covering cites to the west coast like Seattle, SanFran, Oakland, San Jose, LAX, San Diego and Phoenix which means lots of competition. Hilo has United to LAX
