Best places to fly from Honolulu for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the busiest travel week of the year, and most of it is people going home. Flying against that tide is the trick: a beach or a city that empties out for the holiday, leaving the Saturday before and returning the Saturday after, misses the Wednesday and Sunday peaks that double the fare.
