So if the goal is to get back to east coast quickly, you either have to deal with a SFO-EWR redeye (e.g. 5am arrival), HNL-EWR redeye (after GUM-TYO-HNL, arriving at 7am), or overnight in GUM/TYO/HKG (getting back 11am-5pm).

As an example, there's a 5:10pm GUM-NRT followed by 12:30am-6:05pm HND-SFO getting you on the west coast on Wednesday evening.

GUM-HNL might be 2-4-2/10y by then depending on how the conversions are going. Is anyone doing ua155 (island hopper) the other direction?
