What AC should be doing is to try and overfly the US territory with the A345. It is a hassle for passengers to have to go through US INS procedures when they have no intention of going to the US. It's just that the current AC flights must stop in HNL for refuelling as it doesn't offer a nonstop on this route. The current AC schedule doesn't say where the Dec 16 flight stops though.
GB Take it easy.
I did NOT say AC will fly from SYD-MEL. All I said is that I travelled from SYD-MEL and got upgraded to a Skybed.
I sm just saying that if AC is doing this service NON-STOP then it taps into UA/QF's territory and will guarantee a new business class product on their 345. That is all.
