3C Pilot,

are you an airline employee? or flying on an airline guess pass? It really depends on what airline your flying and where from the mainland (SFO, LAX, ORD, Etc?) your coming from. How many flights the airline has to/from your area? Also take consideration the size of the aircraft and how big the airline is (in terms of total # of employees). Easter is a busy time for non-rev travel as many employees and eligible family members take advantage of travel privedges. If you not an employee but only a pass travelor your boarding priority will be below airline employees. Buttom line check with the airline your non-reving on loads, how many non-revs are already listed, etc. Many of my fellow airline employees are non-reving to OGG and KOA in April during Easter week so far the loads look favorable. They are depart from PHX. I also recommend flying mid-week and not on Fri or Sat on Easter weekend. Good luck and hope this helps with your Hawaii trip.
