Hawaii from 30K Points Round-Trip — Nonstop on United
Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL), Economy, Round Trip.
United opened up wide nonstop award space to all four main Hawaiian islands, and the West Coast gateways are the headline: 30,000 points round-trip from Los Angeles or San Francisco, plus $12 in taxes. Chicago, Denver, Houston, Newark and Washington Dulles get nonstop seats too at 50,000 points round-trip, including winter dates that rarely open this far out. Every fare is Main Cabin, so a carry-on and seat selection are included, and you can book one-way for half the points.

Search one direction at a time. Round-trip searches hide inventory; LAX→HNL and HNL→LAX separately will show you far more.
Select "Book with points," then filter to Economy, United, and nonstop.
Look for dates pricing at 15,000 points each way from LAX/SFO, or 25,000 each way from the 50K cities.
Transfer only after you've confirmed the seats. Amex, Chase, Capital One and Bilt all move to Aeroplan at 1:1 and usually land instantly.
Book both one-ways to lock in the round-trip.
