Guadalajara, Honolulu, Kahului, Kailua–Kona, Lihue, Newark (begins March 12, 2017),[50] Portland (OR), San José del Cabo, Seattle/Tacoma
Bolded to show the non-"little two hour" flights.
AS is also adding SFO-MSP service this summer. Since it will be on E75 planes this will be AS service eligible for GGUs and complimentary upgrades, but not VX seating.
