    Unable to prepay for checked baggage on economy reward tickets

    I've booked a US domestic economy reward seat on AA using Qantas points, but can't find out where (or if) I can prepay for checked baggage. Or can this only be paid at airport check-in?

    Inter-Island Hawaiian flights - a way to accumulate status credits?

    Not sure which website I read it (or maybe I didn't at all), but can someone confirm that taking inter-island flights within Hawaii (e.g., Oahu to Maui), flying Hawaiian Airlines on their higher fare buckets, is similar to a status credit run due to the higher number of SCs earned?
