Roughly 3,780 miles separate Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), so a nonstop spends about 8h05 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. American Airlines carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 787-8 shows up on those nonstop award segments. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 3% of the total.
Dallas–Honolulu is domestic but long-haul, so book it cabin first, then program. The economy floor is a partner booking on an American Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $26, above the route's typical economy taxes. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 1.9 times the points and business about 4 times. First class undercuts business here, so price it before settling. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.
Alaska Atmos Rewards wins economy at 17,500 points, premium economy at 32,500, and first class at 50,000. GOL Smiles takes business class at 69,700 points. The other five programs include United MileagePlus, Delta SkyMiles, and American AAdvantage. Economy, business, and first class are also priced as partner awards, so the miles and the metal come from different airlines.
The data has one nonstop award carrier on Dallas–Honolulu: American Airlines. Its oneworld membership means alliance partners can sell that seat too, not only American AAdvantage. Connecting awards near the price floor run through Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago; they're the fallback when the nonstop is full. Alaska Atmos Rewards sets the premium-economy floor as a oneworld partner, selling American Airlines seats at its own rates.
Neither Dallas nor Honolulu shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the main airports are the ones to watch. Out of Dallas, Anchorage is a cheaper redemption at last check, from 10,000 points. For a shorter trip from Dallas, Cabo San Lucas and Cancun are tracked too.
