Have you polled Hawai’i *residents* (i.e. not businesses) asking us how we feel about the increase in mainland visitors? I’m guessing those responses might be a bit less enthusiastic
Airlines won’t fly planes until their maximum range, due to contingencies, such as weather or airport delays. So east coast to Hawai‘i won’t probably happen in an A321XLR. Midwest maybe … What the widebodies offer that narrow-bodies don’t, is cargo capacity that airlines use in the extra space that luggage doesn’t take up.
DC to Hawaii is over 4800 miles, seems like east coast direct us still out of reach? Or am I missing something. Especially when considering fuel reserves for ETOPS travel.
