Depends from where. Shortest route, unless it's from somewhere far out and non-centralized like LHR, would be over 1/2 the Pacific and Eurasia, of course.

Norwegian Air was said to be considering OSL-HNL (as reported in various media) on 787 (should be about 12~14 hours flying time), but they have recently said that no immediate plans for that. Obviously any such flight from EU would take the shorter route and cross only 1/2 an ocean instead of two.
