HA SAN to HNL non-stop?
Yeah, hard to believe but it's true!! The other night I was driving down by our tiny Lindberg Field airport and to my amazement a huge DC10 with Hawaiian Airlines logo lands, which is an amazing site to see. So after some investigation, I find out that there is now a daily non-stop flight from San Diego to Honolulu. R/t Economy tix are about $430. Anybody out there been on this route??

I'll be taking this route next month so I'll make some comments then if no one else has responded. I booked first class using AA miles so I'll definitely comment on that. I was thrilled to find this route for HA because flying on AA to LA first & then HNL for a connecting flight was a real pain. This, at least, eliminates one connection for me in both directions.

SAN passengers need to remember that flying HA and getting AA mileage *does NOT* mean base miles on American. If you fly to HNL and the islands a lot, you can join HawaiianMiles, which is a good FF plan, but AA FFs lose a lot of potential base miles relying on HA to paradise. 
By the way- inflight service on Hawaiian, esp. in first, is great. Those crews really know what 'aloha' means.
