This is first ever nonstop flight from MCO to HNL. Wow! Congratulations!
Effective on March 11, 2021. 2x weekly.
Wait! There's more nonstop flight from LGB-OGG, ONT-HNL, and AUS-HNL.

MCO seemed out of left field - although I suspect plenty of local residents will also take this flight. You've got some sizable military in Florida - maybe they will prefer the nonstop both directions.

I have family in several towns on the east coast of central FL. As soon as this Covid thing is over I'll be taking the flight. Anything to avoid a change of planes.

Also, I did hear they moved up date at the end of April 2021 now. They increased to 3rd weekly. MCO is performing well and they actually increased to 3rd weekly starting at the end of April now.

Just booked LGB-HNL because ONT which is closer to us, doesn't run every day.
Has anyone had an issue with arbitrary re-seating by HA? We booked a window/aisle combination for our tickets and put our friend who is on a different PNR in the middle with a note on his PNR that he is not to be moved, but on the way back we have the middle empty and want to be sure we are not moved around to a window/middle or middle/aisle combination. Some airlines like AS are doing that nonsense close to departure.

Unfortunately we need to fly at the beginning of May - what is frustrating is while HA negotiated fast-results coronavirus tests at LAX and LGB, they failed to do so at ONT, forcing customers to either drive out to Long Beach or LAX to get tested, or rely on very unreliable facilities like CVS who is almost guaranteed to botch the test timing, or do the equally unreliable mail-in option. They really need a lab contract out by ONT and when I pushed them on it via online chat, I was fed back nonsense.
