I agree with what most others above say. First class is an utter waste of money for such a short flight (unless you have money to burn), and that money could buy you many more hours of extra fun and luxury if applied to the vacation itself rather than sitting in a wider seat. $1100/$1600 is crazy money for a flight to Hawaii...you could go to much more exotic destinations than Hawaii (Tahiti, Fiji, New Zealand, etc) for less than that. There are always tons of flight deals and combo deals to Hawaii. Check out Travelzoo's top20deals page or check Pleasant Hawaiian holidays.
