I can get from ORD (Chicago) to OGG (Maui) direct on the way out on a 777 so that is a no brainer. There are no direct return flights.
So… Should I connect in Honolulu with the long leg on a 777 or should I connect in LAX on 2 narrow body jets. Total travel time is about the same as is the cost.
I am thinking the HNL flight will be better as there should be less weather issues and the time will be spent on a more comfortable plane. The flights are over night either way from LAX or HNL so I also think it would be nice not to have to truck around LAX at Midnight. I could connect in SFO also and I like SFO airport better than LAX but the ever present fog delays worry me.
Thanks,
George
