What I still don't understand is how fares from the East coast are not much more then from the West Coast? I just saw a fare yesterday from JFK-HNL thru SFO/LAX of $850

FYI - fuel is one big reason they can charge so much but also the fact they are replacing 777s with 737s must have a lot to do with it as well
