Apparently China Eastern Airlines is flying direct to/from China (Shanghai) from August 9 on. The flight will run twice a week. This is the first time a regularly scheduled flight is going from America (Honolulu) to China. As most of you know you had to previously fly through Japan or Korea to get to China.

Gotta wonder how this shapes Hawaiian Airlines Asia strategy. Perhaps we will see a Hong Kong route.
