Random one week round-trip next June BE r.t. EWR-HNL $1050, EWR to LHR or CDG $1450. UA's pulling in 30% more per seat on trips 60% as long. That's a huge difference $/mile revenue times how many coach seats? The front cabin fares (even raised) can't justify the whole plane vs what they can get to Europe. And that is exactly why UA is expanding to Europe out of EWR at expense of Hawaii. UA still has plenty of seats to Hawaii, albeit connecting. Believe me, I don't like the move, but I get what UA's doing.
