Just got back yesterday on first of two ATL-HNL.

On my flight the winning time was almost EXACTLY half the flight time.
No corrections needed !

Seemed like a nice run, but only because burned 30K to upgrade.
I took a look back at E+ which I will soon qualify for,
but it hurt to look. Will burn another 30K in May !

Met two other FTers in seat in front of me on outbound.
One of them mentioned something about
wishing for "international config" 777.
Are there UA routes into/ex HNL that have a different (better?) config?
