ANC-HNL is the shortest Alaska-Hawaii flight

ANC-OGG is 2nd longest
ANC-KOA is the longest, and longest route in AS' system.

But there seems to be more headwinds ex- West Coast of Hawaii...

ETA: well, I can find no evidence for my wild claim. I swear a friend had told me some of the AK - HI flights were having to make technical stops this winter...maybe not.
