flights are as follows:

13/09 SFO 12:51PM, arr HNL 3:05PM
20/09 HNL 7:50PM, arr EWR 11:30AM 21/09

I have been quoted £783 by trailfinders out/in to LHR. Also quoted £914 by them out GLA/in EDI, both via LHR.
I have got a quote from the United airlines website for out/in to LHR for £747. I am in Glasgow so would need to get internal flights (I believe the direct flight from EWR to GLA is fully booked??)
I would need to book hotels separately but will sort flights first so if anyone can help it will be much appreciated.
Dates are flexible 2 days either side if I really have to....
