I'd rather see them take those GUM routes and make them HNL routes unless it were easier to get to GUM without the HNL-GUM brutality. HNL-SYD would be fantastic. I'd imagine HNL would become a favourite stopover point on many an award routing.
CO did not even charge for the two day stopover in HNL. IAH-HNL was on a 747 and first class had a chef. HNL-CNS was a DC-10. SYD-AKL was a 747, AKL-HNL was a 747, and HNL-IAH a 747. It was like two first class tickets for 175,000 miles. That was on CO in1990. It truly was the "Proud Bird of the Pacific." Today it is the "Turkey Vulture of the Pacific."
