HNL-LAX-IAD is Direct if its the same flight #, while HNL-IAD is considered Non-stop
I doubt a 737 with passengers on board can fly 10-11 hours, and say its HNL-LAX-IAD at LAX usually Everyone will be Required to get off even if its the same plane going onto IAD, since there will be a change of crew and no one can remain on board w/o the crew on board and they want to send on the cleaning people as well.
So with say an hour down at a min getting off and walking around and reboarding usually for me makes a world of a difference. Not sure of what a 757 or 737 longest flight could be but Id guess apx 7 hrs for a 757 and < than that for a 737
. Maybe when Boeing starts making the 737-10000 it will have the range
