Note that this is _prior_ to delivery of UA's 747s. I get LAX, SFO, SAN as well as ORD, WAS and NYC - but this map shows DTT, KCI/MCI, BUF, CLE, PIT, BOS, PHL.

Let's see if UA opens up some of these routes non-stop back to the islands in the future...

Is this for real? CLE-HNL nonstop was a thing?
What equipment and frequency?
