We seem to be missing HNL here as a clear focus city, with 6 x daily 747/A330 (of these: 4 int'l, 2 domestic) flights out of it, and a lot more on 757's and 767's, and lots of connection opportunities, esp. for Japan - US.
On DL:
HNL - NRT, KIX (Int'l)
HNL - LAX, SFO, PDX, SEA, SLC, MSP, DTW, ATL (domestic)
direct flights, most routes twice daily.
