ATA has a code sharing agreement with Southwest Airlines. You can book you ticket with Southwest, get their milage points, and shuttle from LAX or Burbank to Oakland for the ATA flight to Hilo.
That's as direct as it gets until ATA (one hopes) begins service to/from Hilo/LA.
Thats what most of my SoCal family and friends do and they said it is fairly painless. Lets lobby Jet Blue for Hilo/Burbank or Hilo/ Long Beach. And the America West Kona/Phoenix direct is an ok flight.
