Good idea, maybe it could be used as a stop over for Australia / New Zealand with Qantas or another alliance airline.
for BA to operate LON-HNL they would need to have an onward opportunity in either direction. That points to AKL. Right now, Air New Zealand and Hawaiian offer service HNL-AKL, but Air New Zealand dropped London a couple of years ago and now feeds its Star Alliance partner United over LAX. HA could easily offer LHR-HNL-AKL, as could BA. Sydney is a bit further than over Asia so I don’t see that but I do see a case for LON (either Heathrow or Gatwick) – HNL – Auckland.
I can’t wait to see HNL to LHR flight. Especially with British Airways. British Airways is a codeshare partner with Alaska and American Airlines which means miles traveled on British Airways would complement my Alaska Miles program. I would much rather fly over the pole than across the Mainland to connect with a flight in JFK or BOS to the ol’ sod. Hawaiian better get started or they will lose out to British Airways.
