This is the first time in at least 20 years that UA has not flown a 3-Class aircraft HNL-NRT. It looks to be a temporary schedule change because on 8-19-15, this route reverts to a 777.

I'm on the 789 HNL-NRT-HNL in early July. My first time on a Dreamliner and the GPUs cleared. Woohoo

No need to remove, I'm sure there are many who don't follow that thread

Oh god, they're going to try to do this with 1 aircraft? Cue operational performance disaster.Originally Posted by riphamilton

Surely they're going to rotate it with other aircraft at NRT... surely...

There is no such thing of "truly premium Japanese O&D no matter NRT or HND when we are talking about going to HNL, as even JL and NH are and were using subpar equipment for years. (ever remember JO as in JALWAYS ? It was created for the purposes for all Hawaii routes from Japan, using 747 fitted with high density Y config !)Originally Posted by LAXIAD8
All the truly premium Japanese O&D already depart out of HND, so any NRT-HNL flight is just picking up the scraps

Jumped at the chance to fly the Dreamliner home when the opportunity came up. Gambled that I might get an automatic upgrade and it paid off!! ^^ Someone mentioned it was a "positioning" flight. Is it confirmed this will be the aircraft for the HNL-NRT route? Oh, and by the way... we had to wait for clearance as this was the first time a 787 had landed in HNL and they weren't sure the jetway would fit in order to deplane. Thank goodness nobody thought to check ahead. LOL.

This may be the first 787-900 HNL has seen, not sure how you would check that.
