About £1500 in J
OTAs cheaper than BA.com
Could be a good TP-earner too, without the need for ex-EU

Depends on how you route, this should really be in the TP Run thread if that's more your interest. London via JFK and LAX assuming business would be 140x6 or 840.

Starting in INV and finishing in LHR / Regions is cheapest option however please note that its quite restricted so you can't do JFK & LAX on this fare if you are going to HNL just LAX

Apologies in advance for what will, to some, seem like a nooby question, but...
I don't know one type of plane from another (other than the fact that they're big, medium sized and small), but I seem to recall someone here once saying that routing to HNL via DFW would result in a more comfortable journey. Is that so? I've been looking at booking this fare and travelling via DFW seems to be very convenient, with the DFW-HNL leg on a 777 (whatever that is
).

Just taken a quick look at this: 27th December to 7th January INV-LHR-LAX-HNL returning HNL-DFW-LHR-INV can be done for £1432 according to Matrix, as little as ~£1417 for the same dates on Expedia (haven't double checked the same flights but should be).

There is also an A332 on PHX-HNL in peak periods, in place of one of the two daily B752s, again loaded usually a couple of months in advance.
