NO, USA-HNL is a domestic flight, although the ATL and MSP nonstops have enhanced service. Then HNL-Japan is a beach route so it's business class light. I would never route through HNL and pay TPAC business class prices (in miles especially as the prices in money might be discounted for such routings). The long TPAC flights are so much better as you can enjoy good meals and still get a good night's sleep.
