This has become a common issue for people traveling to Hawaii and it appears check-in desk agents have become more accustomed to the request as compared to the phone agents who may not have as much experience with issues like this. Numerous reports from other Hawaii travelers indicate you're very likely to have the bags checked through to your final destination without any issues. My personal experience is that sometimes you do have to be a tad persistent and allow a little extra time in case the agent needs to get assistance from a supervisor. As @bec102896 said you will need to use the full service desk, not a kiosk or curbside check in. Enjoy Hawaii! --TheMiddleSeat
