The -100 or -200 could not fly nonstop from LAX to SYD. Hence all the airlines stopped in HNL or PPT. CO had a great hub in HNL with non stops to MEL, SYD, BNE, CNS, GUM, NRT, LAX, DEN, SFO, etc. 747s and DC10s.
Flew the CO 747-200 many times from EWR to LHR.
Loved the DC10-10s from LAX to HNL with the large lounge between F and Y. And open to all. Bar, open lounge seats, etc.
747-400 killed it all.

UA1175 & UA724 SFO-HNL-SFO go 777-300 for 9 Aug. 2017 flights.
Just woke up now in Hawaii at 4am and see a text saying seat swap because of an an aircraft swap. Think we went 737...I look at the details and it went to 773! ^^

Since you are 1K I'm assuming you are happy since you'll be upgraded - but for those in economy, it is a very painful experience.......

Sorry yes I was already in paid F with the 5 other in my fam. I was most worried about my 2.5yo nephew being next to his Mom but the seat swaps did the job on their own just fine.
Isn't the HD Hawaii 777 the same config in Y?

Honolulu is experiencing ultra high record tourism (several years in a row now) and it won't slow down (and even then barely) until after Labor Day......

Ah, I forgot HNL-SFO has flights with the HD 777 config. I usually end up on the 737s to HNL as I don't fly from SFO typically to Hawaii.
Had no idea Honolulu was experiencing that much tourism! (OT but curious: have feelings about the rail project changed with the increased traffic?)
