Personally I don't fly for business so I have all the incentives to take the long way. And opportunities to SDC to island hopper (successful 1 time). And if your HNL-GUM is late, causing you to misconnect, then you get a free day on Guam (although that has never happened to me - the few times they were late, they held the GUM-HKG flight)
What a shame. I'm always late to these things and miss out on all sorts of interesting flights/routes.
