You're correct. My error. I heard the a.m. flight was full but the p.m. flight was pretty open......guess it's because it doesn't get in until late.

And as of this afternoon, there is another, N904AW, that has passed it's test flights and is now ETOPS certified.

According to the Flight Status on the Website, PHX-LIH left four minutes late at 11:44am

The new PHX-HNL flight originates in CUN.

Putting that overwater ETOPS to work!

 

[hula-flyguy]

Thanks hope, I just realized that we can check it on the east side. But cant check loads.

I like that routing....sounds exotic

new service from LAS to maui was booked to 55, 15 non revs, that means 120 open seats, GREAT FOR NON-REVING

 

[hula-flyguy]

just to correct you 904 has been etops and has flown to Hawaii the last few weeks already. you might be thinking of 902 that came back yesterday and it flew to cancun today as a etops cert. flight. and 905 was to arrive sometime today from etops mods.

Hawaii is a good non rev destination but only through the end of this month. Next month will be much busier. Even during the midweek.
